Enter the Chronosphere - Version 132

Got some new content for you. Before I go on... I just want to hint that we're cooking up a big update for the next one. Watch this space!

But on the topic of today's update: We've got five new irregular spheres. For those of you who are not far into the game: Irregular spheres are not available at the start, you have to complete the right mission to unlock them, then find their coordinates in a run (you can see where they are on the chronosphere select screen).

For the high-achievers, we've added Steam achievement support. You now have 20 shiny new achievements to unlock.

We've also added some more tactics and mods, apparently. I can't comment further on because I both don't want to spoil them (and don't know what they are myself).

Beyond that the usual load of bugfixes and improvements.

Just a reminder that we want to hear your feedback (good or bad) via Discord and Steam Discussions.
