Early October Update: Level Improvements and General Fixes
An update is now live on Steam for Windows, macOS and Linux containing level improvements, and general fixes.
[h3]Level Improvements[/h3]
The jumping puzzle in the Arque car park now doesn't require you to run and jump across at the same time, to make it easier to make it across with a gamepad.
Levels which used tesellated water now instead use a high poly mesh, since this is more performant on low end machines. You can find out more about the technique in the development blog video below:

[h3]General Changes[/h3]
This build also includes a bunch of other fixes to improve the overal gameplay experience:
