With more players playing Cubed and Dangerous, we're also starting to get more feedback, and with more feedback comes more patches. We've made a bunch of improvements to the game based on what we've heard from players and also fixed a few issues that people encountered.
Two of the bigger changes are - 1) some adjustments to the Act 1 boss mechanics to make it a little less awkward to line up your shots; and 2) making the Tornado Cannon feel a lot smoother by simply making it auto-fire when fully charged. We also added a feature to be able to swap primary and secondary weapons with a single button press, which was a little clunky to do otherwise.
