December 12, 2013: Fixed crash bug

A bug snuck in that causes the game list on Android to either display a blank or crash if it sees a ZIP or RAR file.

• Better looking and individually resizable touch controls

August 21, 2013: 0.9.1 fixes a couple of bugs

0.9 was a big release and a couple of bad bugs slipped through, including a crash bug in the settings menu and a bug that turned on error reporting for everyone, which is a bit much for our server. So 0.9.1 is just a boring bugfix release, but please install it! :)

Gameplay Videos!

August 20, 2013: 0.9 is finally out! Enjoy!
