This update addresses several bugs and adds new items.

We've been asked to slow down and do a bug focused update for awhile, and that's what this update was! We're continuing to work on new content for Tower, and will be preparing for our upcoming Anniversary events now that we've got more caught up with bug fixes. We have additional upcoming bug fixes requested by our community in the bug round up thread[forums.pixeltailgames.com].
