removedPerformance improvements: - Grass shader has been optimized further - Grass shader has been modified to draw fewer blades of grass to improve FPS - Low-FPS mode is improved: draws even fewer blades of grass, and some other effects are disabled
changedBug fixes: - Controller fix: If last saved control scheme was Controller, and player starts game with no controller connected, it will default to WASD+Mouse controls - y-position of camera follower is clamped on upgrade screen while using WASD controls
changedBalance changes: - snow damage has been nerfed - unlocking the first snow upgrade costs more resources to unlock (so players will unlock snow at a later stage in the game when they already have better upgrades to survive the run) - 'reduce damage done by snow' upgrade has more tiers - a couple of upgrades cost fewer resources to unlock
addedSteam Cloud Saves! - a lot of people have requested cloud saves, and they are now enabled. In order to sync with Steam cloud, please make sure that your account has cloud enabled, the app has cloud enabled and that your Steam account is online!
changedI'm going to keep working on the performance as well as improving the game, so please keep the feedback coming! :) Thanks for playing!
