Alpha v0.4.0 Released (Mac + Linux Builds Available)


Mac and Linux builds are now available! I have no guarantee that they'll work, but please let me know if they don't.

Also, you can now kick enemies off ledges, and terrain can have unique effects. I now have no excuse to not start working on the game's story.
