Patch Notes - 2/11/2024

Hey everyone, it’s been a little over two weeks since launch. The feedback, support, ideas, and encouragement have been incredible. Thank you all for playing my game, sharing your thoughts, and leaving feedback and reviews.

I have some exciting news: I found an amazing pixel artist to work with. Diogo is going to be joining the team, and helping to build out the game. These first two weeks have been non-stop bug fixing and balancing, but as the most critical bugs are resolved, I’m able to get back to the fun stuff: content. New items, new levels, new enemies, new NPCs. With Diogo’s help, there will be a lot more of that in store. His first contribution…. the player can face up and down now when they run! Hallelujah!
