Hello!

First of all, we hit 100 followers in Itch recently! Kotocca and I are just about at the 1 year mark since starting Pure Jam Games, and we're super thankful to everyone who's supported us this past year. Thanks <3

On to the update, we weren't planning to release an update before our Version 1.0  Full Release (where we bring the game to iOS!), but some good things came through that mean we can update for smaller things! I managed to get in-browser saving between updates working (so updates should no longer wipe your game data if you're playing in-browser), so I can feel okay about releasing more updates. This update is mainly to fix a number of bugs and balance issues, but there's some extra new content in the game for you to enjoy :)

Here's the full update list:

• Fixed a multitude of bugs related to crafting, including discovered items (elements and picked up items are now set to discovered), uncraftable combos (tornados + bottle = bottled tornado, ice + sword = ice sword, as intended), and nonsense combos (no more spear + javelin = javelin, wasting a spear)
• Redesigned main menu, added a tip jar,  added an options menu, and fixed in-browser links
• Added volume controls for sound effects and music in the options menus
• Fixed WebGL issue where save data was wiped every update (If your save data got wiped anyways, please let us know!!)
• Melee weapons now knock the player back on hit as well
• New sound effects in fight (this is extremely work in progress - it wasn't intended for this release but I left in my progress anyways. Please take it with a grain of salt!)
• Various recipe and item updates

Thanks for reading! Don't forget to download the app from the Google Play Store and join us for discussions on our Discord :)

The update for Android should be out later today - it takes a bit of time to process.

Cheers to all,
