Small August Update

  • [p]Mostly wanted to package up a small bucket of bugfixes, as a cutscene that started on the worldmap wasn't playing and that justified a half-month build. Got that fixed, yay! (โยดโ—ก`โ)[/p]
  • [p]Button prompts are a taddd smaller, too. ๐Ÿ˜…[/p]
  • [p]Reworked the cutscene after Kaiden's ship![/p]
  • [p]The caves boss hits less hard, too![/p]
  • [p]New boss battle music for the final boss gauntlet![/p]
  • [p]Xer's FMV text is lighter so you can actually see it

Bug Fixes

Some font effects were tweaked to be easier to read - red font, shaky font, catpun font The rings in the lava level should glitch less
Caves boss is a bit less mean
Cut the save file by 1/3, so it will load a teeny bit faster (I had +20 extra seedling slots that were never used, lmao)

Quick Patch for Level 3!

Quick Patch Note - fixed a bug where if you spawned in the middle of the level, the camera would glitch out. It was happening on the Molten Toxics and I needed to fix that!

Thank you for the bug report, you know who you are!! ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿช


Remember - the best way to leave me bug reports/feedback is on the Leto Discord!!

Summer Update 2025

๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ Howdy y'all! A happy early pride month - let's get to it! ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

First off.... I NEED TESTERS! Wanting to ship this by the end of the year. :)

Either poke me on my Bluesky or on my Discord for details.

Anyway, lots of final boss updates and fixes for this build! Better colors, sound effects, and bugfixes!


Many bullets got their colors changed - more blue, less pink


Toxic fields got updated!


Other -
* Scylla's bullets are exactly like Gilbert's
* Kaiden has music when he is first introduced!

Bug fixes -
* When you fire your gun, companions lower a bit more to allow their bullet's to NOT hit the ceiling
* Major bug where Leto wouldn't finish her jump

Next - Steam Achievements! Feedback collection! More music!
