Download HERE.

This patch adds new abilities, ability customization, and leveling up to the game!

See the previous post for details.

See twitter for preview of new abilities.

One thing I should probably mention is that the "Versus Mode/Scuffed Rumble" will be renamed to Heroine Rumble 2 soon as it is becoming more feature complete. So if you came from the future and wants to know where "Versus Mode/Scuffed Rumble" went, it became Heroine Rumble 2.
