Galaxy Greats’ last week release was a watershed moment for me and little game dev company. Although I was happy with it, I was driven to add updates that were long in coming but were completely necessary for the game to be a ‘good’ game. So here is what’s been added for this one week marathon-of-programming 1.2 update release:
