Current status
☼ Hand2Hand still has a long road ahead. Everything before the 1.0 will be free. In other terms the last version before the 1.0 is free but discontinued.
☼ Some sounds are still "borrowed" from other games, they are placeholders so don't ninja me with lawyers yet ; I will replace them soon enough and well before any penny comes to my pocket from Hand2Hand.
☼ Here bellow are the current milestones. Don't take them literally, as the development could change the order in practice.
