Next steps

As was mentioned before, there are some ideas of possible major updates flying around. For now however, they'll have to wait as I'm going to dedicate the next few weeks to fixing any possible issues you may encounter, if any. Feel free to ask anything about how the game works for you, issues or not, through any of the channels.

P.S.

Thanks to all the demo players for your input and support over the last few months, it's been immensely helpful.

If you're enjoying the game, please leave a review. Early game reviews are very important for small game developers!
