I made a set of (45) pics to show how much the game progressed from it's first beta stage!
I list the changes between the images.
Oh, and, the images are on a preview of 600x600 just to not kill your internet connection, you can still see them, but if you want to see any of them full-sized, just click it.
Enough chit-chat, enjoy and mind my spanish Audiosurf
