The match comes alive

This update is almost entirely about how the game presents itself while you play.

The board moves

Cinema mode is on by default and no longer waits for checkmate: it frames the moments that matter, and steps aside when your clock is running low, because no camera move should make you lose on time. If you prefer it off, it is in the settings.

Events that used to happen in silence now have a sound.

The match answers back

The interface moves along with the match instead of sitting still. There is a chat, which lasts as long as the match, and you can report an opponent from it.

The Online page shows recent matches and the leaderboard, which now also tells you where you stand. Online status is a choice: visible to everyone, to friends only, or invisible.

Story

Two new perks, Revive and Cloning, and an enemy army that changes from node to node.

Career

There is a new screen, Career, with your own statistics: games played, wins, draws, rating, achievements unlocked and hours played. The hours come with ranks, which show next to your name.

And then

Various layout and interface fixes, and some performance work.

If something looks broken, tell us in the discussions. We are reading.
