Our game Mystic Mine has gotten some improvements, and we are making the update freely available. Here are the most important changes:

• Mystic Mine is now running faster, so slower machines are now better supported.
• The first levels of adventure mode are now even more fun.

If you bought the game and want to receive the latest version, just mail me at koen@koonsolo.com and I will reactivate your download. And for those who don’t have the full game yet,  play the new demo and have fun!
