We've added a treasure map to visualize the game switch effect! Whenever you switch between games you'll now fade to and fly over a treasure map that shows all games & progress in this session. We're very happy with this improvement as it has shown to polish and clarify the switching experience a lot.
Also note that you can now buy a 4 Pack of Marooners to play with friends and save some money. Get it at our website: MaroonersGame.com
