  • Buttons:
    • The achievements button was shifted around a few times before settling in the top left corner.
    • v0.4.5 added a Facebook button replacing the Megadev logo before getting removed completely from the game in v0.4.8.
    • "Go To Office" button was changed into a button similar to the achievements button in v0.4.8.
    • The "Credits" button was changed to "About" in v0.4.8.
