changedBig Balance Update 7/30/2025 If you encounter bugs or issues post update please report them in the bug thread on steams discussions or email xylexinc@gmail.com or add me on steam and dm me to fix. This update was made to make the game more fair, it is still super difficult and we are not changing that, but we wanted to make changes to not require as much button mashing, get rid of gotcha moments that take the player by surprise too often, and make the game feel more fair in general. This comes with the added bonus of updating to the newest version of game maker 2 which has lead to improved game stability and performance. Thank you all for playing. I know it is crazy there is a giant update 2 years after launch, but I have listened to your feedback and will continue to do so in the future. Thank you all again, SLG & Merriman Games.
