Demo Update v00.04.01

Hi everyone!

First off we want to give a huge thanks to anyone who played the demo since we launched it just a few weeks ago. We've gotten tons of incredible feedback from many players who were very passionate about Twins of Olus. That being said we quickly got to work on some of the most commonly suggested features and tweaks to make the overall experience as smooth as possible no matter what device you're playing on.
