I just tried the 0.8 version, and frankly, I hated it. This beta version seems to be the most fun one.

not wrong per se, you might actually like it, but it requires some balancing / rethinking of some features, and lacks the straightforwardness of this version. it's a little too busy.
it certainly was a huge shock for someone like me, who plays this version like an addict, on a daily matter.
I do hope that there will be a separate campaign mode, with new features, and this beta version will be used for an endless mode of sorts, or something more casual.
