Release v0.2.0

Sometimes you gotta roll the hard six
A browser game made in HTML5

The second release of Roll the Hard Six is here and there is a lot of quality of life stuff in this update. Originally I had planned on adding more skills. I decided to change my roadmap though after seeing Nick Breckon playing the game on Twitch. It was so illuminating to have a recording of someone playing the game. Some issues are easy to ignore developing the game, but it becomes much more obvious how glaring they are once you see someone else struggle with them.
