It&#8217;s pretty easy to figure out how to play (mash buttons), but I&#8217;ve added an explanation of the controls and now you can scroll through your character&#8217;s moves on the pause screen.  I&#8217;ve also greatly improved the cut scene scripting, so the story takes shape as you advance through the levels.  It&#8217;s still an action game at heart, but I&#8217;ve always intended to include at least a loose plot to tie it all together.  You can definitely play it as a straight beat &#8217;em up, but there are also some branching paths and hidden alternatives to solving problems.  Oh, and there&#8217;s finally some sound beyond the music, it&#8217;s amazing how a few little sounds effects bring the action to life.
