The update to version 1.5.0 has its focus on core gameplay. Besides removing less accessible features which were rather blocking the natural flow of the game (as the upgrade/repair shop and the highscore mechanics), it contains several changes to improve the gameplay quality especially for the very new player (these changes are of course also beneficial for the experienced player) - with the overall goal to facilitate the journey of the former to become the latter - and making it more enjoyable! Along with the usual price discount, it is a good time to give 'TAOTH - The Adventures of the Herkulez' a try!
