addedIt has been a couple of months! I ran into a bunch of bugs with the latest Betas of GMS2, so I decided to hold off until those had been patched before I exported a new executable. Since everything seems to be stable, I'm releasing an update with a new level: The Polar Bear Level (and an Achievement).

fixedThis update also includes quite a bit of work on the Gamepad and Keyboard binding controls. The menus should work better overall, allow more intricate binding, and I've fixed the D-Pad movement. Now by default both the Joystick and the D-Pad work for movement, so you can use them interchangeably whilst playing. As well as there was an annoying bug that prevented rebinding on the Keyboard, so that's fixed now!

addedAlso I've enabled Screenshots! Press F12 to Screenshot a part of the game!
