Yeah, I was going to add an option to get rid of all the spinning, but it fell off the agenda as time trickled down. Same with the font sizes, probably should have put more time into adding options for that stuff.
Glad you liked the moving sands though, the shifty tile stuff is something I've played around with quite a bit at this point, and I feel it adds a fair bit of movement and fluidity to a genre which is otherwise usually quite static.
