|  Thanks for playing Spire Barricade.  As I am nearing the completion of this first semester project at Digipen, I'd like  |
|  to especially thank anyone and everyone who helped me beta-test the project.  While the game is still incomplete, it is  |
|  growing closer every day.  These people in particular put in a lot of hours (many FRUSTRATING hours) helping me isolate  |
|  bugs and balance gameplay:												    |
