  Update 1.0.4

  Thank you to everyone who reported issues! This update addresses controller movement, Endless Mode freezes, and text readability on Steam Deck. Controller Improvements Added an adjustable Movement Deadzone setting to address unwanted movement and cases where Pete continued walking after the stick was released. The setting ranges from 15–60, defaults to 20, and saves automatically. Endless Mode Fixes Fixed Endless runs occasionally freezing after a wave during loot collection or level-up processing. Fixed rare soft-locks during end-of-wave, shop, level-up, and fight-on/cash-out transitions. Fixed defeated enemies occasionally reactivating when killed during their spawn animation. Improved enemy, pickup, and object cleanup for better stability during longer Endless runs. Loot is no longer collected automatically when an Endless wave ends. Make sure to collect any drops you want to keep before the timer expires! Steam Deck Readability Increased text sizes across achievements, quests, level-unlock cards, shop and item descriptions, prices, stats, item levels, and recycling quantities. Adjusted related UI layouts to accommodate the larger text as part of our work toward Steam Deck Verified status.

  Update 1.0.2

  Hey everyone! Update 1.0.2 is now live! This update brings another round of fixes and improvements to controls, UI, quests, audio, and Companions. Fixes & Improvements Button prompts now switch correctly between keyboard/mouse and controller input. Idle controller input or stick drift no longer hides the mouse cursor on level-up and shop screens. Made the mouse Override Aim marker larger and easier to see. Fixed music occasionally starting late and overlapping after quick transitions. Updated the Collector quest: it now requires 18 total items instead of 18 unique items, and duplicate copies count toward progress. Fixed localized fonts not displaying correctly in quest descriptions and several combat popups. Fixed a visual issue where an equipped Companion’s displayed level and progress would not refresh after leveling up until it was unequipped and re-equipped. Thank you for all your reports and continued support! Please keep the feedback coming.
