This is update 1.2 and is mainly focused on providing accessibility/preference options for adjusting the game's platforming difficulty.

The changes provide several new game options for scaling the difficulty of the puzzles:

The options greatly reduce the speed of moving platforms and increase the duration of timed things (like torches or races). Additionally, some platforms also change size to make it easier.

We've managed to squeeze in a few more bug fixes for some of the more severe issues, like Mayor Schtick and Faavi puzzle elements going missing.

NEW

Added new accessibility/preference options for Puzzle Difficulty controls in Options -> Game (Normal | Easier [1/2 speed] | Easiest [1/4 speed]).

Added checkered flags near Race Attendants, so they can easily be spotted

CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS

The number of required stars in The Archives has been reduced by 1, making the, difficult to find, final star optional.

Faavi Kingdom Leaves can scale size with the puzzle difficulty modifier

Increased Dwilben's base charge from 10% to 30%

Added an upper limit to interest rates at 50% every interest period

Simplified a puzzle in the first Trials

Improved performance in the Fire and Forest Trials

FIXES

Fixed a bug where a teleport Fountain could place the characters under the map

Fixed missing/broken beanstalks in the Faavi kingdom. The puzzle should now be completable in existing and new save games.

Fixed (I think) Spirit Sprites loading in a different position than they should (sometimes too high to reach).

Fixed Mayor Schtick going missing after loading a game. She should be back in the Dusken Keep now.

SMALL THINGS

Achievement "There's No Fall Damage" should now be working

Removed broken Achievement "Going The Distance"

Blocked off some areas where characters could get stuck

Vigor Potion icon is now a different colour than the stamina potion
