Update 1.2 content

Work is underway on the next update planned for October 27th. This update will be focussing on story- creating new curated levels that will expand on the narrative that I started with the tutorial level. I'm aiming for at least 3 levels, which I should be feasible given the time-frame. Ultimately I want there to be 7 levels (including the tutorial). If you're a player reading this and you have some suggestions for the update, please feel free to write them here! I take all feedback into consideration....

You can expect the next major update to land next month on the weekend of Ma...
