Thanks to everyone who has played Code Blue Idle so far, and to the players who reported bugs. Here's what changed since launch. 1.0.1 Fixed the tutorial getting stuck on "Click a Skill to Find Cases". Clicking a skill now moves the tutorial forward. 1.0.2 Removed the zoom options from the View menu. Zooming out could leave the game shrunk across restarts. The game now resets to normal size every time it starts, so anyone stuck zoomed out is fixed automatically. 1.0.3 After a couple of hours of play, the game asks once whether you'd like to leave a review. It's skippable and won't ask again if you say no. Links to Steam pages now open in your browser if the Steam overlay is turned off. Found a bug or have feedback?
