Hello!

Its been a minute since the last update! I've been hard at work finishing up classes and helping run a conference at my college, so its nice to finally have some serious time to really put some work. This update is focused on making the game a more user-friendly and smooth experience. The pause menu and item rarity systems in particular should really help me to add new items and features in the future.

There will be a hotfix pushed out for any and all issues with the current version this time next week, and after that, its on to v0.4! Look forward to new temporary items, altars to lost gods, the merchant, new rooms, and ratman scavengers!

Oh, and check out the soundtrack, now hosted on my own YouTube channel!
