A few people have sent me screens showing me how the game scales at lower resolutions. I've rolled out a fix which makes things better, and much clearer. Right now the skill tree is in development but I look to fix up its appeal in future updates. It appears some people have found the secret room faster than I expected, and that is super cool. We're almost at 1 week now and the game has changed an absolute ton. This is because of the feedback you've all submitted. Though not everything gets in I appreciate the constructive criticism many of you have sent. Have fun!
