addedWhat Awaits YouThis update adds 12 new levels, one for every puzzle box! Each one is designed to be the most difficult level in its puzzle box, built for players who have already reached 100% completion or plan to push for it in the future. Each level contains the most puzzle pieces than any level in its box and more golden puzzle pieces to collect than ever before. Steam post image
addedHow Do I Access It?To access Shattered Worlds, you'll need to do something a little dangerous: Shatter your 100% save file. Have no fear, this will not delete or wipe your progress. Once a save file has been fully completed, you can shatter it to unlock the ability to shatter puzzle boxes. Shattering a puzzle box reveals a new, much harder level hidden inside. Steam post image
changedHow Do I Access It?As you collect all of the golden puzzle pieces in each level, more puzzle boxes will be able to be shattered. To reach the final shattered level, you'll have to 100% every shattered level before it. The update is built for players who want one final test. The Shattered Worlds level are difficult, demanding, and absolutely not for the faint of heart....good luck :) Steam post image One important note: We're aware that many of you may have already earned 100% completion and then deleted their save file for the original achievement tied to doing so. Fear not. The Shattered Worlds Update will detect that and restore your 100% save file, giving you the chance to shatter it properly. Steam post image
addedAlso in This UpdateAdded fully rebindable controls for both keyboard & mouse and gamepad.
addedAlso in This UpdateAdded support for additional keyboard layouts with correct key glyphs (e.g. A instead of Q on AZERTY keyboards).

One Final Note

Thank you to everyone who has played, completed, and even 100%’d Piece by Piece. This update is for the players who wanted more....and to be tested. This is the last update we'll be making to Piece by Piece. It was our first ever game and we couldn't be prouder of it. Your support has allowed our small team to become full time game devs. It's surreal. It's unbelieveable. It's....more than I can sum up on a small Steam update post. Next week we'll be showing the first look at our next game, Project Babel. If you're interested to see what we're cooking up, please follow us on social media.

All the best, Neon Polygons
