I’ve updated the post-compo version of my game to address some of the issues brought up by players:

• You now start with $300, so you can buy a few upgrades right away.
• Combat messages display what’s happening to the robot in the arena.
• Improved character movement in the workshop.
• Hold Shift while clicking to buy (up to) 10 health/armor upgrades at once.
• The escape key will now close dialog windows and return to previous menu screens.

So THAT’S what all those things are!

I’m still working on improvements and I’ll continue to update the post-compo link. Please feel free to check it out and suggest features or report problems.
