Alpha v0.4.1 Released


It's easy to lose sight of what information is obvious or obscure to the player after working on a project for a long time, so this update has a bunch of tweaks to convey structural information like how many areas are in a run. I'm sure it'll be a continuous process of realizing something only makes sense to me because I developed it, then tweaking the presentation. Thanks, players who aren't me!
