The First Invasion of Bugs!

[Phil Robinson]

To finish off this game I'm now programming two whole new versions. A "free version" and the "collectors edition". To ensure the collector's edition runs well I need to get all existing bugs squashed!

The current release candidate for version 1.01 is now available to download and test.

The latest build is available from here:
