  • The Way 1.07 - bug fixes and changes in the final level - 21 April 2017

    Minor update based on player feedback. List of changes: Made the "pirate" enemy attack pattern more predictable, making him easier to kill :) Adjusted enemy placement in the final level, making it less frustrating, but still challenging to play Fixed a bug where you could get stuck in the final boss fight, unable to continue the game Fixed crash on game launch caused by wrong refresh rate info provided by some displays. Ukrainian translation added to the list of languages (created by Yura Pavlyuk and Yura Kukhtin. Thank You!) French translation major corrections (by William Bassinat. Thank You!)

  • The Way 1.06 - final balance update - 8 June 2016

    Big update. This should wrap things up nicely. We're done with balancing the difficulty of puzzles and placement of savepoints. Some things changed based on your feedback, some stayed as-is because we decided that's how we want the game to be. Most/All of the reported bugs should be fixed now but feel free to open up tickets on https://puzzlingdream.freshdesk.com in case of any problems. Most important changes: Fixed crash on continue when you were using a gamepad Fixed triggers and bugs for xbox one gamepads Fixed translations. Special thanks to Sarcastic Cat and sturmkoenig2k! Added mouse support for puzzles where you can select elements 2x slower telekinesis energy loss No energy loss for shield when reflecting continuous lasers (during puzzles and elevator rides) Temple of Life - Moved the switch that lowers the platform after the spider monster chase so it can be activated only aft…

  • The Way 1.05c - Hotfix - 23 May 2016

    It seems the bug that made the game crash was dependent on the user monitor. That's why we couldn't reproduce it (it happened only for some displays). Let us know if the game is working again for you (make sure it's up to date by verifying game cache first). The fix is a little bit of guesswork (as we couldn't reproduce the bug ourselves) that's why response from you is important - we need to know if it works :) If the game still doesn't work please open up ticket on puzzlingdream.freshdesk.com or reply to your previous ticket if you already created one.

  • The Way 1.05 - Support/Bugfix Patch - 23 May 2016

    BIG fix release. Hopefully got rid of all the major bugs and enabled support for all possible platforms. Most important changes include: Support for retina! (finally - let us know if it works for you!) Retroactivation of achievements on continuing game (only progress-related ones) While aiming, shield now shows a "ghost" of predicted laser trajectory (no more guess work! Makes the "Abyss" puzzle much more enjoyable :)) Desert with robots - Fixed bug with savepoints (they were triggering only once - that's why all of you poor, tormented souls had to backtrack the whole level upon death. So sorry for that!) Desert with robots - Added additional savepoints on each side of the sandhole ladder West generator (sandworm) - Added savepoint right after the spike slide :) South generator (filters) - Fixed "liquid life" achievement not triggering after turning on the water Computer world - Made th…

  • Another World/Flashback-A-Like The Way Out Now - 21 May 2016

    The pitch of a “2D puzzle platformer game inspired by classic titles like Another World, Heart of Darkness and Flashback” got The Way successfully to its Kickstarter goal in 2014. Now it’s out, released on Friday. At first glance, The Way’s deference to those, especially Eric Chahi’s 1991 sci-fi classic, is quite striking, however I also get Universe and Heart of Alien vibes from this trailer. Check it out: …

  • Release delayed one day - 19 May 2016

    New release date: May 20, 12:00 PM PDT It seems that after Steam reported Java not being bundled with the game as a critical issue we had to get re-approved. The app went for review once again. Due to this we had to push the release date one day forward. Sorry for the delay!
