 * The game no longer uses Ultracrypt, because it would interfere with FRAPS and non-Windows 7 Computers.
 * Yes, this means the save files from previous builds will not work! We have included a save file with everything unlocked EXCEPT for the new items to compensate. Sorry!
 * Health bars now display more intuitively
 * Previously: Red bar represented first 3000 health, orange bar the next 3000, and the yellow bar the rest. This meant that the yellow bar could hold much more health than either orange or red bar
 * Now: Red, orange, and yellow represent a third of the total health
 * Health bars are also capped in size at 200 pixels wide. While it’s still very wide, we think its part of the charm to see large health bars (and to take them right down!)
 * GameMaker has been updated from 8.1.91 to 8.1.141. While we can’t recreate the bugs on our own computers, this may result in fixing a variety of GameMaker engine bugs for some users.
