  • Gameplay
addedSwitch version has some different features to fit better within the platform: - There are no achievements, but there are leaderboards (there is one global leaderboard and separate leaderboards for every 'regular' level) - There are no different difficulty options, as in PC version, but your character has now 4 lives by default, and stars are given according to how many lives you lost during the level. Although this is nearly same with the "casual difficulty" option in PC, we realized newcomers experience the same system differently when the default way to play is not punishing out of the gate. (I like this new system, but this is hard to apply directly to the PC version because of achievements) - God mode is not hidden in Switch version, you can directly skip any level from pause menu, whenever you want. The penalty is you don't get any stars and a leaderboard score (For those who doesn't know, in PC version, you can access god-mode from console by writing CHEAT)
