- Small update 4/10/2026 - 10 April 2026
- Fix bug reporter - Fix softlock at the end of the tutorial that was affecting some users (if you still experience this please let me know) - Controller bindings can now map one control element to more than one action, since there are unfortunately more actions in the game than buttons on most gamepads, controller players can now map the camera centre action to a button already in use (recommend mapping it to the reverse button) - Add new achievement, since its a pretty dry update otherwise.
- Japanese and French subtitles now available - 12 December 2025
Japanese and French translations have now been released, you can change the display language in the Settings menu.
- Japanese and French versions coming soon! - 4 November 2025
The French and Japanese version are currently in the works and coming soon! If you already own the game and are interested to help us proof read the French or Japanese versions, please feel free to reach out to us on Discord for more details. Many thanks!
- Unity security patch - 3 October 2025
This update contains only a patch to address a security exploit that was discovered in Unity (the engine used to build the game). Information about the issue can be found here. There should be no functionality changes at all, but if you do encounter a problem please submit a bug with the bug reporter. The next actual patch should be in a few weeks with the French and Japanese translations.
