Changelog
I’ve added some small bug fixes below as allowed by the rules. No new features have been added and I recommend you play the latest version (v0.8, which is the one the Web version defaults to), but you can still download the original entry (v0.6) if you want to test it instead.
[2024-04-16] v0.8 Small bug fix
* Fixed bug where you sometimes couldn't make anymore summons until you died and restarted
[2024-04-16] v0.7 with small bug fixes:
* It now locks and hides the mouse cursor
* Fixed menu screen showing wrong entries when you first enter it
* Fixed typos in strawberry text
[2024-04-16] Added a WebGL version.
* I haven't tested it much but it seems to run well if you run in full screen! If you don't run in full screen some of the UI text looks a bit weird.
