Steam Marines v0.7.6a, 31 January 2019

Hello all,

Today Steam Marines 2 finally gets its run score implementation, similar to how Steam Marines 1 operated. Actions can have either a positive or negative score modifier attached to it (e.g. killing an enemy grants score, whereas having a marine die reduces score).

The scores table can be accessed from the main menu and retains your top 9 highest scores, as well as your historic lowest score. You can in fact get negative scores on runs if you happen to do terribly.

As you can see it also tracks the game version that was played when the score was achieved. Only the scores displayed are saved to file.
