First Update

Greetings!

The first update is out and it’s a major improvement over the jam version. Major lighting fixes, gameplay tweaks, improvements to UI and overall UX, and visual polish. Diversified levels with lighting and Apple Tree configuration: the sandbox level is a favorite! Expanded on NPCs with names (“Yibo” and “Yabo”), shirt colors, and dialogue. And now, Yibo has sunglasses; apples all around!

 Happy Tappling!
