EDIT - Rather than write another long post, I'm updating this one. The links are the same, but the new version has been uploaded. I don't want to run out of space. 3 more reported bugs were fixed. See change log for details.
Only one other bug was found, and it only took a short time to fix. So here is Build 05a
Two new features have been added in addition to the bug fixes. The new load/save screen with the number of slots expanded from 20 to 32, and you can now choose to ride the bus in the morning instead of walking to school. Just use the Action button/Click on the grey stand at the end of the fence on Weekday Mornings. It won't work any other time.
Going home on the bus is not currently an option but might be included in the future.
As always, I anxiously await your feedback, and any bug reports.
Unless there are a large number of issues, the next release (Build 06) will be a publicly available release also made available on itch.io a week after its release here. So you'll be able to say you get early access :)
