Returned the Speedrun timer to its normal size
- Halving the Build Size and Bug Fixes - 19 January 2026
Hello everyone!We've been quiet working on our next big project, but had the time to make some big updates behind the hood of the game. The Black-Screen BugFirst, we fixed a bug that was causing some players screens to go black when you hit "reset to defaults".We apologize for taking so long with this one - it was a bit of a doozy to find. From 5GB to 2.5GBAs the team was working on an Xbox patch, we ran into some file size limits causing us to fail our Xbox submission. In order to get Get To Work's new patch onto Xbox, the team had to really dig deep and find some smart ways to reduce file sizes, and look for new optimizations - And as luck would have it, those optimizations have carried over to our steam build.Instead of 5GB, the build should now be in and around 2.7GB! (Not exactly half, but 54.32% of the original size felt less sexy of a number).Optimization 1: Addressables Get To W…

- Minor Patch - Tower Speedrun Timer - 23 July 2025
Hi Everyone,First off, a HUGE congratulations to Brandwagen who beat the tower in an impressive 6 hours after launch to win The Doinkler Special Competition.Tower AdjustmentsWe've made some minor adjustments to the tower (mostly fixing geometry where players were getting soft locked). The tower remains mostly the same, and most players shouldn't notice the changes.Speedrun timer The Speedrun Community has requested we add a timer for the Doinkler Special, and as such, we've added a timer that is based on height! Quality settingsWe've added 3 quality settings (Low, Medium, High). These give very minor improvements to performance, but for those struggling to get good framerates in the main game, this should help a bit!Other Changes:Fixed a bug where the attempt counter would reset when opening level select multiple times.Removed "The Doinkler Special Competition" button in the title scree…

For the main game, we really had to tone down the difficulty of the jumps, because of how brutal the falls were, but with a restart button, you can instantly retry and learn how to properly hit the obstacles without having to climb all the way back up.Which means, we were able to bump the difficulty up by like…. 300%. Some of the levels are HARD. But don't worry, you can skip…

- Performance Improvements - 22 January 2025
Hi Everyone, First and foremost, thank you to everyone for picking up the game! It means the world to us. We've been hard at work improving the game, and slowly but surely working our way through our list of highly requested improvements. Performance Improvements Our biggest complaint was the loading hitches when transitioning between major sections (especially for the speedrunners with slower hard drives). - Improved Level Loading We greatly reducing loading "hitches" when transitioning between different levels. - Steadier Camera We fixed an issue where the character would "flicker" when on the ground. As it turns out, since the camera is set to follow the players orientation, this flickering makes the camera also feel jittery. By removing the characters jitter, the camera also feels more steady. Visual Fixes Along with Performance, we've been making minor adjustments to the visuals -…
- Hotfix - Some players couldn't start the game - 20 January 2025
We added a fix for players who had their gamestate corrupted (often due to a power-outage or computer crash). When player's got this error, clicking "load" and "new game" wouldn't do anything. The game will now recognize corrupted gamestates and rebuild their gamestate so players can resume their play.
- Speedrun Leg 3 Winner - 30 December 2024
The story so far We've been holding a 10 day speedrun competition with multiple legs, each with their own prizes Leg 1 had a time of 20:46 . Leg 1 covered the first 24 hours, and despite everyone learning the game for the first time, the winner, Kerem, emerged victorious with a time of 20:46, winning $500 CAD Leg 2 had a time of 14:50. Leg 2 allowed all glitches, and players took full advantage, with some wacky and wild skips and again, Kerem managed to barely clinch a victory, winning $700 CAD The Final Leg For this last run, we thought no one would get even close to 14 minutes, since it was glitchless! (which massively nerfed the run). This rules for this leg: No out of bounds skips, No op-ragdoll bug skips The frame rate was limited to between 60-45fps (We did allow what is called a "top-grab" skip, which happens when you grab the top of a slingshot). Do note that in this run, you wi…
