Hey guys!
Based on your feedback over the past week, I have made a lot of changes and upgrades to the Anomalies! I've also fixed a ton of bugs, so a big thanks for your reports, as always!
Updates will once again slow down now as I work entirely with the new Act. Of course, I'll fix any problems as they arise on the side, pushing small bugfixes.
Keep an eye on the forums.. I might post some teasers!
