Hey folks, After a few days of intense, angry staring at the save system, we finally tracked down and squashed the bug that was causing the saving issues! The problem was that the Waterfalls level load was ignored, which made players fall under the map. This completely broke the save system and could corrupt your progress in that level. We’re really sorry this happened. The good news is that th…
