About the update

Overall the initial release of Hero of the Circinus Galaxy went well. Since there was still time to add things before the game jam closed I decided to add an online leaderboard before submission ended. So the final version was v1.1.1.

The user Aktane played through all submission and gave feedback. You can see feedback on this game at 50 minutes in this twitch stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1599363023

This version is inspired by feedback from that stream and comments in the Lazy Devs Academy Discord.
