addedI added the first 7 of many expected Steam achievements to the game. With that, I did decide to encrypt the saved file that contains your stats so that people couldn't just change the notepad file to give themselves super easy Steam achievements by changing their save file. With this, I had to reset everyones stats saved so far to the new encrypted save file system I used. So everyones stats will be reset as of today going forward, sorry for any inconvenience there.
addedI also doubled the number of caught ball reactions and changed the code so that you won't see any two reactions in a row be the same word(s) as the previous one. This should add a little more variety to what you see on the screen assuming you have reactions set to "on" in the game options.

That's it for this update. Expect more to come and I hope you are enjoying my budget mouse driven game!
