ECON
Elemental Connection Rebrand Update!
When I made this game around 2002-ish, I called it Elemental Connection. It stayed that way all up until the digital release, where some friends said it'd work better as ECON. I never really cared for that, so I figured, with this next batch of little fixes I'd just go ahead and do a soft rebranding to Elemental Connection again. Back to the roots, babeh! It won't be official on Steam until I get, like, 50 reviews, but for now I hope you all enjoy the updated name and look.
I also got it working on Mac... I think! Test it and let me know!
