PATCH NOTES!

UPDATE 4 (9/12/2025)

•

Heads up: Settings have changed and your options and demo progress may have been reset. Sorry about that!

•

Improved pick-up mode!! now you just have to hold "E" to pick up things, including things that are being flung at you

•

Starter bombs now change color and produce effects when near a bomb-fuse to indicate contextual behavior (it's purple now)

•

Fixed issue where player couldn't look up or down. Whoops.

•

Fixed issue where "restore default settings" would set "invert Y" to "on".

•

Fixed issue where player would receive a pick up prompt where a vaporized object formerly was.

UPDATE 3 (8/20/2025)

•

OS cursor no longer shows on top of game cursor in various menus

•

improved Starter behavior when near fuse-- player will no longer be launched if starter projectile is close enough to trigger fuse. Unless the fuse is behind a wall. Then you can launch fine.

•

Level select screen!!!

•

fixed (removed) "super jump" when spamming Starter

•

Starter now launches more predictably when player is "below" projectile (IE on a ramp)

•

Player now receives air control upon hitting a wall (this is useful)

•

Audio settings should now more consistently persist between levels

•

game save states of all sorts should now work a LOT more reliably now.

UPDATE 1

CHANGES:

•

CONTROLLER SUPPORT! well, kinda. Like 75% of it. Menus are navigable, player is fully controllable, but terminals can't be scrolled and act weird if you jump between M&K and controller use.

•

Button prompts are contextual now! If you're using a keyboard it shows keyboard prompts. If controller, controller prompts. Actual glyphs are pending

•

Collision removed on wall decorators

•

Probably a few other small tweaks I can't recall atm but most of this week was getting controller support working

Finally: THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR KICKSTARTER!!! We're 225% funded! Wow

It's still up for the rest of the week if you wanna donate! Link is in the game itself since steam kinda frowns on direct linking in descriptions.
