Let's fix some bugs! Let's find some bugs!

Gravity Ace
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Hey there, pilots! I need your help. A major focus of this update has been bug fixing. But there are a few quality of life and feature enhancements mixed in with all of the bug fixes as well. Please try out this latest build, play through the demo levels and tutorial, and let me know if you run into anything weird, wonky, wild, or broken. I need your help to make sure Gravity Ace is ready for general consumption. Thank you for your bravery!
