Another big update:
SPIT N POLISH - some cleaning up of artwork assets
COMBAT - made more intuitive - and if you have nothing in your hands, 'F' still punches! Unarmed combat improved. Follwer AI reblanaced further.
SHUT THAT DOOR! Pesky gigglers had left all the skeleton-key doors open on the lower levels... so THAT's been fixed!
GIGGLERS and WASPS: they were far too powerful, so toned-down a bit.
ZOOOM - puzzle simplified
