0.1.3 is live with new balance changes!
Here's a small balance patch as we continue to fine tune some of the existing game mechanics before bringing you everything we're currently working on.
These balance changes are focused at addressing a lot of the feedback we've been receiving from the start of the Early Access. Keep it coming! It helps us greatly to improve the experience.
Many more changes are coming, aimed at improving the length and pacing of the longer runs and the not-so-hard-to-build infinite builds. Have fun with the degen looping while you can!
We hope you enjoy the weekend running the Grid!
