What's this? Beta "2"? While the last update (http://www.gridsagegames.com/forums/index.php?topic=816.0) said to expect a 1.3, in the time since then the changelog has ended up rather... long xD. Altogether it's become more of major release than a simple iteration on Beta 1, so calling it 1.3 simply wouldn't do it justice! (Aside: Calling it Beta 2 also frees up the score sheet to get some new entries as well as pave the way for a leaderboard reset and stat summary.)
Beta 2 doesn't come with a huge content expansion, instead focusing on accessibility and gameplay tweaks (and combating cheesy tactics ;)). [Update: Beta 2 "Legend has it..." released! Full release notes and changelog here (http://www.gridsagegames.com/forums/index.php?topic=825.0).]
Full release notes will be available next week with the release, and until then you can get a taste with the following visual summary:
Mouse users can fire guided weapons at empty spaces without the keyboard:
