New year, new patch! As usual, I've just polished a few things up for a smoother Celbugging experience.
Version 1.04 Changelog
Changes

Cleaned up some files to reduce the size of the game.
Changed the icon of the character speaking in the game's final cutscene.
A reference to "Battles" has been changed to "Bug Battles" for clarity.
(Cel)Bug Fixes

Super long Celbug names weren’t being displayed correctly in the header of their info boxes.
The dialogue icons introduced in v1.03 had a small visual bug in which, on some resolutions, there was a small gap between the dialogue box and the character's picture.
The achievements tracking total Celbugs bred and total Gnats destroyed were not cumulative across save files as intended.

Thank you to everyone who's been giving Celbugs a whirl this holiday season! It means a lot to see people playing - and hopefully having a good time with - the game. I've taken the opportunity to polish things up a bit.
Version 1.03 Changelog
Changes

UI icons have been updated with the intent of being more consistent and clearer at lower resolutions.
This affects the navigation buttons on Celbug Island and in Bug Battles, as well as the Favourite button
Dialogue boxes now contain the name, and a picture of, the character speaking where appropriate.
(Cel)Bug Fixes

In the Inventory, the Vurdice Leaf would be displayed when no item was selected instead of the intended graphic
At some aspect ratios, UI buttons were unintentionally clickable while dialogue boxes were onscreen

Hello! If you’ve been playing Celbugs, I hope you’ve been having a whale of a time. The Version 1.01 update is out now - it’s a pretty small one, focusing on quality-of-life and bug fixes.

Version 1.01 Changelog
Features

Added search filters! When searching through your Celbug collection, you can type “:” followed by comma-separated phrases to filter the list of Celbugs returned

Celbugs will no longer move right after you’ve interacted with them, hopefully making breeding a bit easier
(Cel)Bug Fixes

Celbugs will no longer occasionally spawn in the ocean
The scroll wheel can now be used as intended to scroll through your Celbug collection, your list of Bug Battle rewards, and the Bug Battle selection menu

The Celbug God
You, an explorer, washed ashore on Celbug Island, and were greeted by this bizarre looking statue. It houses a spirit that can communicate with you telepathically - and, for some reason, only in rhyming couplets. It seems like it's got a lot of favours to ask - are you, explorer,
