  After some pretty immediate feedback on the v1.0 gameplay, I've decided to add a hint about how to use logs to make fire. This pops up when you first collide with a log pile while you otherwise wouldn't just make the fire.

The game-end sequence is polished up so that you can't force the shutter animation off center. And as a general... Continue reading
