Longer version

Welcome to all the new Grunts! For the influx of new players: this game feels new to a lot of you, but for me as the developer this game is almost turning 5 years old!
I always thought that Space Grunts 2 was "done", I had added everything I wanted, it plays nice, feels nice, and every now and then I still boot it up for a round or two. There was however always some tiny things that I felt like could be improved.. a lot of that was visual, some of it was gameplay wise, and a bunch of things were just technical issues that have to do with PC's and operating systems all evolving! So in between my new game projects, I have been tinkering on Space Grunts 2.. and especially now that I'm prototyping a Space Grunts 3, and we are about to do a Switch version of SG2 - I decided this was THE time to actually try and push a Quality of Life update to my old friend SG2. This update comes with tweaks and changes which should make it a smoother experience on PC with mouse/keyboard or gamepad play. Better fonts, bigger dialogs, better resolution support, etc. Visuals have been "cleaned" here and there as they could look a bit messy especially in early levels, and some changes are pushed like having a Fist card in your deck when you run low on weapons. So please check out the Beta version, give it some playthroughs, and let me know what you think - or if you have more requests.. there's room for some tiny improvements and additions! You can find me on Discord: Discord.gg/Orangepixel And don't forget to drop a little review on the game, that will certainly help the game keep traction going! (allowing me to put some more time into future updates after all these years!)
