I know this is because you are not using an installer, but if you (as in Braintree) want -- I can take 30 minutes of my time and write you all an applescript that will automate the little upgrade routine that you specified in the Read Me.
Of course, to be really mac-like, all that data that is contained in the App bundle would be in the ~/Library/Application Support/ThinkTanks/ folder ... :)

The upgrade routine on the Mac is a bit, shall we say, un mac-like? :) I know this is because you are not using an installer, but if you (as in Braintree) want -- I can take 30 minutes of my time and write you all an applescript that will automate the little upgrade routine that you specified in the Read Me.

That would be fantastic. And we should be bonked in the head for not doing something that obvious in the first place.

1. Scrum Transfer Bump:
Has anyone noticed that the scrum transfer bump has become more difficult in the new version 1.1. I can ram a tank at full speed and nothing happens, they just bounce away and keep going with the scrum. Also the scrum transfers less often too. But this of course this could be a good thing once getting use to it, assuming that Bravetree just changed the impact velocity scrum transfer ratio.
2. Gravity:
Boing! boing! boing! boing! all over the place. It's like the gravity of the moon. I go further on launch plates and bounce into the wrong direction way too often. Again being launched further is not bad, it will just take getting use to it.
3. Health Rings
There are definantly health rings in version 1.1. I like it, it's helpful if your smoking and wondering is there a health anywhere. Many times I gone looking for one in all the usual places.
4. Download:
Safari has issues but as far as the cache goes I often reset Safari or clear the cache for privacy reasons. Menu/Safari/Reset Safari... or Menu/Safari/Clear Cache....This will remove all cookies, history, cache, etc... Thus remove junk and evidence.
Sorry this got so long. But you asked what I thought. :)
