2 years, wow! When I first started making Squarena, I didn't think it would turn into a fully-fledged game. I thought I was making something for just family and friends to enjoy together, but I took that and continued to work on it. I am grateful to be able to spread joy and help people connect and have fun!

Here are some highlights from this update:

• New arena added - "Tech Tile"
  
• Powerup sprites completely remade and upgraded. Some work was done to the powerup code as well.
  
• Pausing mechanic has been improved. Now it is a true pause!
  
• Made a selection of new and improved artwork for some of the level objects (mainly walls) and added feature to be able to blend walls together more pleasantly.
  
• Backend optimizations
  
• Removed "tutorial" from the main menu. Now you can customize your character first and then enter the tutorial directly from character select.
  
• Changed "New Game" to "Play" on the main menu
  
• Started some backend work in preparation for eventually releasing on other platforms.
  

I hope everyone enjoys!
