Today's the time for a new big update for Gladius.
This time we are adding a much requested feature: keyboard hotkeys! You can read the full list of hotkeys down below.
We are also including a new special screen shake effect when a drop pod is landing, plus many bug fixes and balance improvements.
This update has been fine tuned and tested during a few days beta, so we'd like to thank everyone who took part in it. Please let us know if you have any feedback: your suggestions are always very handy in helping us improving the game.
