Today Idle Biceps becomes 1 year old.
What started as a small project has blown away all my expectations, it was a really big step on my way to becoming a full time indie dev, and for that I want to say thank you to all of you guys who played the game, and to all of you that created content around it, that is YouTube videos but also all sorts of skins and customization options for others to enjoy, and shared them on the Steam Workshop.
With that said, this update brings a few improvements and some additions, here are the change notes:

Added stats screen in the menu
Added position indication on the leaderboard scroll
Fixed rep points getting too big and going out of screen in certain resolutions
Fixed afk welcome screen resolution
I know I am starting to repeat myself, but once again, thank you all!
