Space Jawns version 3.0.0 Alpha is available now for download for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and Android!

I’ve been working hard on the latest Space Jawns release for over a year now. It’s gone from version 2.5.1 all the way to version 3.0.0 with this release. There are a ton of fixes, new features, and lots of Unity version upgrades over that time. Our most recent spring was getting the game updated to Unity 2018.3.6. See all the changes since the last release included in Space Jawns 3.0.0 Alpha below!
