I should preface this update by saying that no new features are being added to Build 'n Bump. Instead, this is an underlying engine upgrade that hopefully improves the overall performance of the game and fixes several gamepad issues that players have been having. Most notably, gamepad support for macOS is back!

However, this update does remove the 32-bit binaries for Windows. The Steam Overlay is also no longer working for macOS (and still doesn't work for Linux). If these are deal breakers, or you start experiencing other issues with the new build, you can switch back to the old version. In the game's Properties > Betas menu, select the v1.2.3 branch to roll back.

Let me know how this upgrade affects your experience with the game, and thanks for playing!
