We’re rolling out an update today (0.8.142) with all sorts of improvements to Space Food Truck Early Access, which we’ve listed in exhaustive detail for you below. Our two most exciting additions are covered in previous blog posts about the new cards we’ve added and the Scientist’s new mutate ability. We’re curious what you guys think of the new difficulty curve, so be sure to leave us some feedback! And keep checking in with us, we’re working on more cool additions as we speak.
