Hello everyone! Thank you for 4000 wishlists!
The most important concern with the game has been the potential repetitiveness of the Space Frog arcade game. The full game will have a lot more to offer to prevent this, but even so I felt like major changes were needed with the demo aswell.
Therefore, I've been working hard on improving the roguelite aspect of the game with a bunch of new mechanics, gachas and enemies.
I really appreciate all the feedback. It helped me create a much improved version of the demo (and eventually the full game).
This version has been out on the beta branch for a few weeks for some early feedback. Most of the issues have been fixed but if you find anything else please let me know.

FIXES & QOL
I've worked through a long list of bug reports and quality of life suggestions. I realized I haven't been keeping track of all of them well, so I am not able to list them all here. It ranges from things like seeing available cheat codes in the console, to improving the map generation and improving general performance. The game should be a lot more stable than before.
Keep in mind this is just a fraction of what the full game will offer, I've been working on a lot of new stuff I can't share yet! Stay tuned.
