💬 A Message from the Producer

“While we’ve added a lot of great features, we didn’t quite hit all our targets for this version. We had some minor setbacks with art implementation and basic boss interactions. But fear not! We’ve acknowledged these issues quickly and are already working to have them ready for version 0.4.0. Your patience and support mean the world to us!” - Xodic Yusaki
