General

 * Located in the top left corner, below the version number.

Bugs

 * 2 bugs reported
 * When a key is pressed down and the game is blurred without being clicked out of, the game will still register that key being pressed. This still occurs in modern Minecraft, making this the game's oldest bug.
 * Some issues reported were low sensitivity, crashing, jerky mouse looking, and low FPS.

Trivia

 * This was deemed "relatively stable" by Notch, and the URL for the game was posted to other users in the IRC channel.
 * This was the first version of Minecraft to have its code obfuscated.
 * This version is called 0.0.2a, despite the apparent lack of 0.0.1a. A possible explanation is that 0.0.1a refers to a previous unnumbered version, but this is unconfirmed and should not be taken as the truth, especially given there is still a possibility that there is a 0.0.1a release we don't know about.
