Hey everyone, Sorry for the slow updates, it's slow going these days as we are all working in other jobs to make ends meet. But anyway, first of all, work is continuing on the next area, we can't wait to show it off. So in this update we've added a new enemy to the garden. It is cocoon that hatches into a spider. At the moment the spider hatches as soon as the player goes near it but maybe it might be better if there's time to destroy the cocoon before it hatches...Let us know what you think of it, good/bad/needs work? Also in the update are lots of tweaks to gameplay and some bug fixes. Thanks, the bitSmithers
