API 30 (Android R+) is unfortunately at 45kB to support ARM64 + ARM32.
make[s] a window with OpenGL ES support; Accelerometer/gyro input, multi-touch; An android keyboard for key input; Ability to store asset files in your APK and read them with AAssetManager; Permissions support for using things like sound.
