Roadmap + Browser Compatibility Update!

The game has been out just over 1 week, and managed to get around 200+ players in it's first 7 days! This has exceeded my expectations for my little passion project, so thank you for everyone who tried it out, and to the people who left reviews! Reviews go a massive way towards making the game more visible on Steam, plus I just appreciate the feedback!
That being said, there's a lot coming up! I work a full-time job but my evenings are committed to making this game everything I want it to be, and I am determined to push out a notable update every 2 weeks, with laid-out goals for each month formed by the community. The two big ones: [b]Steam Achievements and Stick/Early-game rebalancing[/b]! Expect the rebalancing in the next couple of days, and Achievements within the month! I heard your (very justified) cries about drop-rates and break chances and am determined to get them into a smoother state.
Further news for people without a Windows device: [b]The full game is now fully playable in-browser[/b]! If you have a Mac or otherwise incompatible device with the offline build, the website now supports logging in with your Steam account (through Valve's secure servers), and if your account owns the game you'll be able to play it fully online! Otherwise, the website will allow you to play a full demo of the game, which covers around the first 8 hours(!!) of content! The web build is the same as the offline build with a few parameters changed, and will therefore be up-to-date with the offline build whenever something new comes out. ([b]Offline demo is currently in review, and will be up on Steam as soon as possible[/b])

Thank you for a fantastic launch, and I'm incredibly excited to show you all what I've been working on for the future content. There's a lot planned, and I'm determined to build onto this game until it surpasses my current vision!
And without further ado, the first Roadmap:

[b]The roadmap will be kept up to date on the Steam Store page, as well as through the occasional announcment.[/b]
It's also a good time to you to export/download your saves every once in a while, just in case anything goes awry. Will be adding incentives to the menu soon.
