Version 1.7 - Added Checkpoint
Ok, I know I said that 1.5 was going to be the last gameplay update, but I was still a bit bothered by how hard the Finale was and didn't want to leave it at that. There is a now a checkpoint at the 50% mark. I have also fixed a small inconsistency with how the Mouse enemies work in the Finale. Please let me know if there are any other issues. Ok bye.Read full article on Community Announcements (Awfy)Patch NotesOfficial

Version 1.5: Finale Rework + Bug Fixes + The End?
Hello everyone! It's been a little over a month after the previous update. I took a small break from working on the game and decided to come back to it with a fresh mind. Anyhow, this update is pretty big and has loads of nice changes that I wanted to bring for a while. Moreover, this might be the final update for the game as well. Please read about it below. Finale Rework {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44729824/d7b9c9acefb0a41c543a9bc5ae24caed722d5492.gif As you all know, I wanted to remake the Finale from the ground up again as the previous version of the Finale had RNG issues which ended up being very unfair, skewing the leaderboards, and simply not fitting the game's core themes in general. After several iterations and playtesting, I've come up with a much better Finale that fits the game far better than the previous version. This new version is essentially a longer level that tests your abilities with all the mechanics in the game as a pong ball! I have also decided to go back to the roots of the game and make this section fully one-button as well. Now, the game doesn't suddenly change to a top-down, bullet hell game, and instead remains true to its one-button, tough-as-nails platformer aspect. I can now say that the game is truly a one-button platformer game. Gameplay Changes The Following levels have been readjusted: A-2 A-4 A-6 A-7 A-8 A-10 A-11 A-13 A-15 A-16 A-20 B-4 B-9 B-10 B-12 B-20 C-1 C-4 C-7 C-9 C-20 Tweaked the sliding (for the LAST time) Slightly reduced the Bomb's detection range (Should make levels like C-20 a bit easier) Slightly increased float speed in Bubbles Slightly reduced the fall speed while in Bird state Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where the Mouse enemy would stop moving when the player restarted a level Fixed a bug where the game would remain paused after un-pausing the game and holding down the "Resume" button The game is no longer pausable during the Finale cutscene. Made small changes to the Tilemap system which should help optimize the game a lit...Read full article on Community Announcements (Awfy)
