[h2]Battery Ship[/h2]
This Means Warp is also launching with a brand new player ship! In addition to different visuals and an updated layout, the new ship also features auto-reloading guns powered by a unique power generator system. You'll need to carefully manage power across each of the ship's three sectors, and can overcharge a sector to give a temporary boost to all of the systems in that sector!



[h2]New Scenarios[/h2]
Test your skills with four more unlockable scenarios, each tailored to push the limits of the new ship. The new scenarios also come with unique ship tints so you can personalize your ship with an even broader array of color options.

[h2]Additional Languages[/h2]
This Means Warp is now available in more languages, with French and Brazilian Portuguese added to the existing list (English, German, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese).
