After a long delay punctuated by a hard drive failure comes the first pass of Steam integration! Sixteen glorious achievements for all your achieving pleasure, and a global high-score board with which to show off your prowess. Most of the achievements should be pretty easy to get for experienced players, but harder achievements will come with late-game content. Please let me know if there's an issue with either the scoreboard or achievements, since this is my first time working with the Steam API.
In addition, the final early/mid game alien race has been added; the KaasTau. These machine-plant hybrids already had two enemies in the game, but now have four new spike-throwing, laser-shooting, player-slowing enemies, topped off with a deadly boss. As always, full changelog below:
