  Game Released

  After the unsuccessful early access launch of the game I decided to release the game from early access with this update. Because the game is not going to have the intended amount of content the price will be reduced to reflect its new value.

Content: A new lovely enemy was added, may have something to do with the ending. Mechanics: Added the acceleration mechanic to directional thrusting. Dialogue: Added a few more lines of dialogue, one for the ending, and a few more to add some variety.
