  • Fixed an issue with the airmail and postcard letters not always hitting enemies

  • Fixed rats sometimes spawning on screen

  • Fixed an issue with First Class not firing properly

  • Corrected a couple of typos in item and weapon descriptions

  • Made snail mail slightly slower

  • Increased the speed of Second Class

  • Tweaked some tilemaps to prevent annoying collisions

We're motoring along to 1.0, I have one final update I want to add before the full release. Look out for that around the end of the month! Thanks again for all your support.

Yours happily,

Jimmy
