changedGood day, everyone! We’re happy to announce that we’re releasing today an important update for Alt254. To begin with, the game now supports Mac and Linux! This is something we’ve been requested many times, and we really wanted to make the game available to as many people as possible. We hope you guys enjoy Alt254!
addedBut that’s not all: we have called it the Speedrunner Update for a reason. Although it wasn’t developed strictly with that goal in mind, the open and minimalistic nature of Alt254, along with its difficulty, suit speedrunners very well. With this in mind we have implemented a new Speedrun Mode, which adds a stopwatch to measure how long it takes you to beat the game… and a worldwide leaderboard to compare your performance with other players! How fast can you beat Alt254? Try this new mode and find out -- and don't hesitate to send us your personal bests!
fixedOn top of all this, we’ve fixed several technical issues; check the patch notes below to find more details. We hope you enjoy these new features; you can send us your feedback here in the Steam forums or through Twitter. Thanks for playing Alt254!
