I downloaded 1.06 when it was beta. I am assuming nothing has changed.

Thanks for the hard work. [&o]

I am used to the buttons, and as was mentioned in another thread on AGEOD's site, it makes more sense this way.

The only problem I am having with the game now, is that I am suffering from sleep deprivation. [:D]
