remember satryn? i have grown and learned much since its release over 3 years ago. i'm happy to still be here, and i'm happy you are too. please enjoy this small update.

did some optimizations that should result in dramatic performance improvements. this was done for no reason in particular and is not at all indicative of something to look forward to in the future.
changed shooting so bullets queue up and fire when ready. ammo conservers rejoice!
fixed a bug that caused the game to pause on game start if the application lost focus while on the menu.
fixed a bug that caused devourers and devoiders to sometimes not do anything. apparently this bug existed for 3 years!
please note: going forward, i will not be supporting the mac version of satryn deluxe. apple is gatekeeping devs from delivering software to their platform unless they own a mac.

satryn is now available on android. for free.
touch controls can be enabled in the controls menu for all versions.
there is now a sound and tiny graphic on the hud when you pass your high score and farthest level.
gameplay changes

gluons now appear less frequently, to the dismay of no one.

smaller changes

bloom poops now blow up when spawned on another poop, which should prevent blooms making impenetrable poop fortresses in the corners.
the game now pauses if it loses focus.
auto-power can now be toggled whenever, which is fun to spam while waiting for the next level.

1.1.1
reduced minimum aspect ratio, which should better accommodate portrait orientation and non-widescreen displays. "really quit?" menu is less confusing. fixed a bug that could cause a score to not upload and then disappear forever. (thank you for your sacrifice, MrUnbecoming.)

additional experiments with object instancing/cleanup that might prevent crashes
