For those that don't know, this is the weekend of the anniversary of the game's launch on Steam. Without being too dramatic, I really do thank you all for changing my life.

Thank you for being a Project Arrhythmia fan! ❤️

[h2]Update info:[/h2]
Expect the leaderboard and gradient update this coming week.

I tried to get it out for y'all before the weekend, but cause this will be a candidate for default build I wanted a bit more time to catch bugs. Thank you for your patience!

Hope you all have/had a wonderful weekend and father's day!
