For now, the reaction and feedback seem positive, with some minor polishing to be done. Nghĩa is working hard to enable controller support, so you can enj…

Lakes are back — and now you can swim in them Lakes have returned to the game! And with them, full swimming — bodies of water are no longer just scenery, you can dive in and move around in them.

After a victory the run no longer hits a wall of unkillable enemies. And the leaderboard no longer loses runs and shows when the new week starts.

The growth is linear now: half a second at minute 35, under a second a…

The alchemy bench used to be a (fairly boring) menu. You'd pick a recipe from a grid, the game would check you had the ingredients, and you'd press Make. It worked, but it meant every remedy was really a shopping list - and knowing what a plant actually does never mattered once you had the list, which isn't exactly what I wanted to bring to you. Not in a game whose whole purpose is to teach! So…

Did an update to fix some bugs. Cloud saving is enabled now. Yay.
