Version 0.7.0 is here, and it’s one of the last beta updates before release! The plan is to complete the game this week, I’ve already started work on the end-boss (disabled in this build, but he’s like 90% done).

There’s now an NPC in the game, an old-geezer, who will say seemingly random stuff, but you might be wise to listen to it now and then!

So update through Itch or through the iOS Testflight, and enjoy!  Again feedback is welcome on the Discord!
