Hey Peeps, So, there's a frame rate issue in the game that currently has me pulling my hair out. I thought I'd fixed it, but it seems to have come back. Sometimes the game gets stuck at 24 fps and it jerks around and stutters. There's a short term work around, closing and reopening the game sometimes corrects it. This is not ideal and I'm really sorry. I've been working hard to find a solution and have reached out to Yoyo for help. I'll keep you updated and hope to have it sorted out once and for all soon. In the meantime I've updated the game with some bug fixes, including making the text easier to read. I've also added a difficulty mode, you can now play in Normal or Hardcore (previously just hardcore). Update: After chatting with Yoyo I've putting in a fix for the framerate problems, so far it seems to have worked. It's a little tricky to judge as it was an intermittent problem, but I haven't seen it recurr in the last 4 builds and I'm reasonably confidant it's fixed.
