Bug FixSave file no longer gets corrupted if you went to main menu at the beginning of a new stageAND NOW FOR THE SNEAKPEAKSSooooo, Things has been a bit quite since last month. Now part of it is actually Chinese new year, tis was awesome. but the other part is because I've been working on something Awesome 😎Now Quick Disclaimer, this is literally the first month of the project, so nothing is set in stone and it's not even playable yet. BUT, I think we already got a looker 👀 DAS RIGHT, WE'RE GOING Y2K BABYYYYYYLike a moth to a flame, I too am a zoomer getting nostalgic about the early 2000s 😔Once again, this is so early there isn't any real game (or even sound) in it yet.

- Update 1.42 - 22 January 2026
GAME GO VIRAL?!?!?!Awesome and epic moment hit the game last week. It went viral! Again! Thanks to this one tweet, the game gained a lot of visibility over this past week, it's really awesome! Thank you so much for the positive feedback and enthusiasm. I do feel that the game doesn't quite meet the expectations some people have for it, but at least most people seem to be having fun with it, which is great! To answer some questions, yes, this game is our first commercial project, we did it part-time over the course of a year (which unfortunately shows in some parts). Regardless, we're very happy with the reception and please look forward to our future games!That said onto the bug fixes!Bug FixYou no longer unlock Bell when entering FoundryThis is actually a leftover from when Bell was supposed be unlocked in the foundry.

New FeatureRoutes now no longer resets between saves!You remember back when we added the save system and there's that weird limitation of the map always being reset everytime and how it might end/ruin some runs?We fixed that now! Now the route no longer resets! It's actually not that hard to implementYou're also limited to only the rooms in the path you've unlocked, so no more jumping between routes in the entire row!SeedssssssAs a bonus feature, we can now also do seeded runs!You can select and input seeds during character selection. And see what seed you're using in the option menu!Mous size toggle!On smaller screen -particularly of the deck variety- it can be a bit hard to see the cursor, so now there's an option in the setting to make it really huge!Will adjust the sizing, but tis handy!Give Up toggle!That Give up button is way too easy to press sometimes, so now there's a toggle to…
- Update 1.41 (Beta) - 3 January 2026
No new feature this time, just debugging some problemsBug FixPlayer top now will restart the next round instead of just reducing life and keep goingThis was my attempt at fixing some other issue, but it ends up causing a game breaking bug, oopsThankfully it was caught before it got live, so YippeeeeStone should stop causing crashes. I thinkAfter reading the logs from a fresh crash, I think I finally pin down the issue. Hopefully it's fixed now, Fingers crossedFusion top in your save file no longer get randomized! Rejoice!Fun fact, it's not actually random, it's either Control Wheel DEF20, Guard Wheel DEF20, or Stone Wheel RGN5If you're wondering how I was able to pin this down, it's because these are my own save file that I accidentally integrate into the game. The fix was to delete my save file from the game. OOpsContinuing from a save now only unlocks the rooms in a row that was conne…

Bug FixRelic now saves when you press continue! huzzrah!Just like any other save function problem, the fix is unfortunately to start a new game.Reduce crashes on Fortress and SlimeI ran into the crash once myself, and found a fix, but not quite sure if it's the same problem everybody is experiencing,If anyone is still having problems with it, Let me know and I'll get in contact with you Pressing restart on a run that have passed the first stage, doesn't start you immediately on the next stage. Me big dumb, sowwyyyyNew Public Beta BranchEver since the game's inception, we've had big problems with a lack of a dedicated playtester on our team. A lot of Bugs and problems slipped through the crack caused by the simple fact that there isn't enough hands playing the game and testing out all the possible edge cases and features. This is exemplified when a new (big) feature is added into the gam…

- 1.0 IS HERE - 9 December 2025
1.0 IS HEREHeya gang.First off, big news! Game is released! In a surprising fashion, mayhaps a surprise release of some kind. A month back I joined Frosty Mini game showcase, in exchange for a surprise release in the event. Tis is why I've been quite for like a month, I've just been grinding on it for this time, and the time is now here! There's a lot of changes on the full releases, too many to write down in this announcement but all that matters is that it's now released and fully playable! Oh and also we got a new trailer! As always, if you have any bugs or problems with the game, please join the discord server or post the issue on the steam community page. Thank you everyone for staying with us this past year of development, Hope to see you on our next one Many cheers!
- Demo Bug fix - 10 November 2025
Demo Bug fixHeya gang.First off, I’d like to welcome everyone who found this game through Reto, Raijin and other Social Media! You’re all very welcome here, and we’re incredibly grateful for all the feedback we’ve received so far.That said, the extra foot traffic we’ve been getting has definitely exposed a lot of the game’s faults. Which is a good thing! This is a natural part of game development, and we’re glad to have so many free playtesters helping us improve the game.Based on the feedback and reports we’ve received, here are some key changes in this update:Bug FixesDouble or Nothing now correctly changes knockout damage to 2 life instead of increasing it by 2.Fortress now correctly ignores static object damage.You can no longer go into negative money by spam-clicking Repair.Repair cost is now calculated correctly. Previously, spam-clicking would let you repair using outdated prices…
- Delay Announcement - 4 November 2025
On our first demo patch notes, I announced that we’d be releasing the game this November. Back then, I thought it might be a bad idea but crossed my fingers and hope everything would work out.Well, it turns out it didn’t and it really was a bad idea. In short, the game is getting delayed. Out of fear of another delay, I won’t be announcing a new projected release date just yet.I’m truly sorry to anyone who was looking forward to the November release, things just didn’t go as planned.Thank you for your patience and understanding. I’ll strive to do better next time.Cheers.
- Demo Overhaul (again) - 3 August 2025
Demo overhaul (again)Hello everybody! Welcome to the second patch notes for From the Top! So, last time the game did release in a bit of a rough state. Definitely better than the original original release, but still not quite a polished product. This time around, we’re focusing on rebalancing, bug squashing, and some much-needed QoL improvements!One thing to note: this will probably be the last patch notes for the demo specifically (unless further game breaking bugs are discovered), as we shift focus toward adding more content into the base game rather than adjusting the demo.Anyway, read away!QoL ImprovementsDrag & Drop Feedback Dragging and dropping tops now shows where they’ll move during the hover, rather than waiting until the mouse button is released.Quick Launch Swap Moving a top to the first position (i.e., the launch position) can now be done by dropping it into the center of t…
- Demo overhaul - 7 July 2025
Demo overhaulHello everybody! Welcome to the first patch notes for From the Top!A lot has changed since the original release, and while the game is still in the “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” stage of development, I want to make sure all existing players of FTP know that the game is still being actively worked on, it is getting updates.BalanceTops"I actually like when the game make me feel overpowered. I just don't like it when the overpowered thing is the only thing worth using."That’s basically my philosophy when it comes to balance. Since FTP is a single-player game, this mindset generally isn’t harmful long-term. In any case, here are the changes!Control WheelIncreases max stamina from 30 to 40Reduces maximum duration of ability from 3s to 1sGuard ShieldAdded new effect to abilityRecover Stamina for all tops while activatedMapOne…
