    • Fixed a bug that wouldn't allow you to place turrets in some locations that you should have been able to.
    • Fixed a bug where any Event that allowed you to Add a card, Remove a card, or Install an upgrade would skip the second room if it was the first room.
    • When installing the upgrade from the Leg Hydraulics event, you can no longer click on the event choices instead of the Install button and hang the game.
    • The second combat in the tutorial no longer gets stuck forever if you click the End Turn button after the first turn.

        • Power Saver (Retain Power between turns)

    • You can now view a character's deck of cards when in the Shop.
    • Upgrades with prerequisites (like cover or no allies within X cells) now glow when they are active.
    • The combat grid is now on the border of each cell instead of filling the cell, so now you can actually see the tile artwork!

    • Copy Paste (Engineer): Target two characters and copy all Status Effects between the two.
    • Deadly Taunt (Soldier): Taunt all enemies within 8 cells and gain +1 Retaliate for each enemy taunted.

    • Skip Animation Option: In the Options menu there's an option to skip all animations. This speeds up combat a LOT (I prefer options like this in my tactics games, so hopefully others will, too!)

  • Scoring System

    • There is now a scoring system! It takes into account combats and boss fights won, as well as breakpoints for special actions
    • Special actions have three breakpoints for 10, 20, and 30 additional points
