Aside from bug fixes and some visual polish, I've spent a lot of time on the game's audio effects. Existing sounds effects now sit higher in the mix and many more new sound effects have been added. There's more I'd like to do, but I think it's already a big improvement.

Cloud saves are also now live. If you've already played on two devices there will be a conflict, I recommend you play on the device with the most progress first as this is the save that will be uploaded to the cloud. Once you play on your other devices you'll have to resolve the conflict by choosing the cloud version.
