This update is the last before the beta keys are deactivated on Monday. Robo Instructus 1.0 will be released on the 16th July 2019.
One final weekend to fire up the beta, send me feedback and be immortalised in the game's credits. The feedback I've received over the beta phase so far has been totally invaluable, particularly as I'm a solo dev. So thank you to everyone that sent me their thoughts!
Along with this update the game has new store art.
