The main screen lacks the tutorial button, which IMO is a step in the wrong direction. You would think that after publishing a game with a button to access tutorials that didn't tutor anything, that the next game woud actually add tutorials that did tutor. I have no idea what changes were made from BCG to UC to "rebrand and action focus" the game. Best I can tell is it's just a name change and an incremental update over BCM plus a long overdue printed manual.
