  • FULL DATA WIPE. This includes Save data, Options data, Input mapping data, and Ghost data. In addition to new levels, there’s a new save directory structure to allow for multiple Steam users to have separate save files on the same computer.

  • THREE NEW LEVELS!

  • Hot Dog Reporter is officially Steam Deck verified!

  • Updated engine to Godot 4.2 RC6! Is using a beta engine a good idea for a Steam release? Probably not but it fixed a lot of problems and got us Steam Deck verified! Lots of performance optimizations and bug fixes under the hood, but the most noticeable for some of you will be…

  • Fixed swapping between the d-pad and analog stick being extremely buggy! Controls now default to having both enabled.

  • Updated tutorial with new mechanics

  • Added moving hazards (sawblades go brrrr)

  • Added updrafts (fly with the umbrella)

  • Added breakable objects (run into them fast enough to break)

  • Implemented rotating platforms (not yet used anywhere)

  • Gravity reduced by half while sliding! This was intended to make sliding over two tile gaps more consistent, but as a bonus, it means that sliding and jumping on the same frame give you extra height

  • You can pet the cat now

  • More background art

  • Added 2 hidden achievements

  • Fixed a bug where player velocity would carry over from death to respawn

  • Improved backflip timing (should trigger much more consistently along with the skid audio cue now)

  • Added HALLOWEEN FOREVER mode, in case you missed out on the Halloween update or owe allegiance to the Pumpkin King

  • Fixed Steam Cloud cross platform save compatibility

  • Lamps and torches now flicker

  • Fixed and embarrassingly long standing issue with the start menu not reloading when it was supposed to (after deleting save data, unlocking all levels, etc)

  • Fixed fall impact triggering after using the umbrella to slow down
