Less clicking, Steam Overlay fixed & more

Hey Swarmers!

A new update is live, with plenty of fixes based on your feedback:

  • Less clicking: hold the mouse button or Space to keep the Queen firing automatically.
  • Steam Overlay fixed: Shift+Tab and Steam screenshots now work in-game (thanks Skyline for the report!). This also lays the groundwork for Steam Achievements, coming soon.
  • Mute in background: a new option in the Sound settings mutes the game when its window isn't focused.
  • Clearer spell timers: active spell cooldowns now show as a compact badge.
  • Faster lore entries: chronicles now appear quicker.
  • Softer map sounds: opening and closing the map is easier on the ears.
  • No more accidental text selection when clicking fast around the UI.

Next up: hive buildings. Your ideas are on the table, keep them coming!
