Hello Hello!
I completed Rooftop Cop a year ago this month and during that time it was featured at a number of festivals and garnered some nice attention from different publications and the like. It even got two IGF nominations which I still feel funny about!
Anyway there were always a few things here and there that irked me and as much as I tried to not let it bother me it always kept nagging at me. SO! This update address those things, which weren't huge, but I feel much better about the whole project in general now which feels really good. Thanks to everyone who has taken a chance on this game and sent messages or said hi, it's not easy to find a place for something like this on Steam -- yall are the best!
