v0.5.5

23. December 2025

v0.5.5 fixes a lot of major and minor bugs and improves the UI, especially during the match. All match events are now shown correctly, also when the game is simulated. The match info bar on the top left was redesigned and shows now the fouls in a more intuitive way. Personally I feel that the game is starting to get a nice shape and finally become fun!
