Patch V1.06
Over the past year I have received great support and feedback from players and fellow devs. They inspired me to return to the game and update it to be more friendly and fun for the player, and a more streamlined and logical experience. Major improvements being a proper in game tutorial, simplified upgrade system and refined player controls.
I want to thank developers JustWall Games, Mika Pyon and Ryan Kwok, for encouraging me to dive back in, and for taking so much time with DROJ to test and give feedback.
