Game: Khet 2.0
We just pushed the latest version, which has an additional fix for Intel HD Graphics cards.
This release also includes:
To make it so that a game can be played by as many people as possible, it's important to make games accept a wide variety of input. You can currently play Khet with Keyboard, Mouse, or GamePad... and any mixture of those.
Prior to this release, we had a shortcoming that there was no way to pull up the in-game menu using just the mouse. This meant that mouse-only users (such as those that you Speech Recognition) would have to close the entire app each time they finished a game. That's got to be really annoying, so we fixed it.
Since accessibility is a fairly easy thing, that BlueLine is trying to get more game developers to put some time into... we Streamed the processes of adding this menu button (and talked about accessibility while doing it). The stream was on http://twitch.tv/bluelinegames and now that it's over, the video is up on youtube, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjYFJkvg9-s&t=28s
The game is actually on sale for 80% off right now, so if you or someone you know doesn't have a copy yet, you should probably snag one because it'll be a couple of months until the next sale.

Cheers!
This release also includes:
- Smaller log-file
- Better displaying of names with apostrophes in them, in the Online Game Menu String.
- Fixed a rare potential crash from leaving the Online Game Menu Screen running.
- Added a visible menu button to the game. This improves mouse-only accessibility.
