A new update has been released for BlastZone 2! This one focuses on streamlining the local multiplayer experience by adding a new ship selection screen. This allows both players to select their ships simultaneously when gamepads are used. If the second player is using a mouse, the old sequential ship selection is used. The full release notes are below. To make sure you have the latest version, start the game and check the lower left corner of the title screen for "v1.22.4.0" or higher. Enjoy!
