Over the past couple months, development on the game has largely been spent getting the mobile version finalised, with support for cross-platform co-op with Steam.
0.3.4 is scheduled to be the initial mobile release when ready, but I am rolling this out to Steam first.
Final mobile testing is underway. Stay tuned.
