VERSION HISTORY:
----------------

1.11:

	* Fixed a bug that prevented full-screen graphical interpolation from working in Windows Vista/7/8 (GameMaker 8.1 limitation). Visual quality in full-screen mode should be much better now in those systems.


	* "Moody" lighting mode is now a bit brighter.


1.1:

	* Added the extra quest "The Gazpacho of Youth". This new scenario can be unlocked by completing the original quest or logging into GameJolt.

	* Fixed the random crashes in Windows 8.

	* Lighting system has been improved with dynamic shadows and color tints. You can choose between "Moody" and "Bright" modes in the Options menu.

	* Support for GameJolt trophies and online leaderboards.

	* Added extra detail in the original scenario.

	* Various graphical enhancements (UI, main character sprite, backgrounds, etc).

	* Fixed a lot of bugs from the previous versions, including a particularly nasty one that caused wrong screen transitions.


1.01:

	* Fixed some spelling/grammatical mistakes in the English version of the manual.
	
	* The "Previous Page" and "Next Page" buttons for the English manual were shown in Spanish. They are now translated.

	* The movement speed for the spiders has been reduced (just a bit).

	* Added an options menu. You can now change the language without having to exit the game and edit the external config file.

	* Added a "range circle" option. If enabled, the game will show a circle around FrikiBoy, representing the attack range of his sword. If you have a hard time figuring the melee attack range, please try turning this option on.


1.00:
	* First public release.


IMPORTANT NOTES:
----------------

Press F1 at the main menu screen or ingame to check the manual. Controls and actions are explained there.

If you are updating from a previous version, BEWARE! Game saves from the original version will probably not work, and even if they do, they will likely cause a lot of problems. I recommend starting over or finishing your current game before updating.

DISCLAIMERS:
------------

It is my duty to inform you that, as it happens with all other freeware available on the Internet, the author shall not be hold responsible for any damages this software causes to your system. Use it at your own risk!

If you were charged money for this game, you got ripped off by a very greedy and evil individual. I suggest you slap him/her as hard as you can and demand your money back.

Also, please don't try and imitate FrikiBoy. If you eat that much ham and sausages, you'll get really fat and your heart will hurt and stuff. Eat your broccoli.
