Major changes:

• Mistyping an email address when signing up or changing your email address will now provide suggestions for common domains (e.g. typing "adam@examlpe.com" would suggest "adam@example.com").
• Saving your defense will now ask for confirmation so that you're aware that the defense will be attackable by other players. There is an option right in the dialog to have it stop warning you on future saves.
• Pressing the spacebar will start a match and pause/play replays.

Minor changes:

• When people are streaming Bot Land on Twitch, the "Streams" tab in the game will now show the number of active streams in parentheses.
• If the attacker's final bot kills the CPU but _also_ dies, it will now be considered a win for the attacker, not the defender.
• Allow opening salvage packs from any screen. Previously, when you got a random salvage pack reward on login, there were cases where you would choose "Open now", but nothing would happen.
• Fix changelog readability on notched iOS devices.

Do you like strategy games? Are you a regular human who still hasn't figured out how to move at the speed of light? THEN OH BOY IS BOT LAND THE GAME FOR YOU!

In Bot Land, all of your bots follow scripts (so you can snap your controller in half for all we care). You'll tell your bots how to perform actions ahead of time, that way they don't need a lousy human to control them mid-battle. This allows your bots to fight even while you're offline; they'll protect your CPU against other players' attacks.

Now, let's be honest... you're a great gamer—that's why you're reading this description—but even you might still lose a match or two. That's where replays come in handy. Maybe your opponent cloaked, bypassed your bots, and destroyed your CPU while your own bots were busy calculating prime numbers with a billion digits. You can use that information to improve for next time.

Then, after improving your defense, you can attack other players' CPUs in the same way. Maybe you've got a killer strategy involving LANDMINES or TELEPORTATION or OTHER BOLDED WORDS, the likes of which no one has ever seen before. You finally find the perfect chump on which to unleash this onslaught. They've got measly bots with artillery and shields, so you teleport behind them, misquote a meme, and punch them in their shiny metal backs. You're the top dog-bot now.

And when you win...? Oh, don't even get us started. You'll earn Botcoin, which, through a myriad of steps, roughly translates to fame and fortune in real life (the steps are really just a sense of satisfaction and a profound feeling of "the courage was within me the entire time!"; Botcoin isn't a cryptocurrency). You'll buy new items, make new strategies, teach a wasp bot how to love, ponder whether we're all just living in a simulation, and then look up how to remove wasp-bot stingers from your arm. It's great fun.
