Ahoi,

we're participating in the Steam Remote Play Together Fest!

Hey everyone,

Version 0.6.20 brings some first scoring UI improvements.



- Tiles display their score when you explore them
- Hover over a tile to see its score (if any)
- Hover over the total score on the top left to see all tile scores

On a side note, the menus are now controllable with keyboard and controller.
This is not exciting yet, but full controller support is in the works!
