The Mac & Linux downloads for Tanky-Tank now feature music! These aren't actually a new version; they are still 0.10.4b and are completely compatible with the older 0.10.4b downloads. But if you are a current Mac or Linux 0.10.4b player and you re-download from this website then you will now hear music and voices in addition to the regular sound effects. The Windows version has also been updated to use Ogg Vorbis files instead of MP3s, but there is no reason to download it unless you feel like acquiring the OGGs.

There was a pretty big crashing bug in the A.I. in 0.10.4, so 0.10.4b has been released to fix it.
