1.0.3 - Hints and a herring

Gentoo Rescue · published 3 Jun 2025, 17:25 UTC · build 18721241

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

It's almost 2 weeks since launch and I'm embarrassed to say that all levels still do not have hints. But I'm almost there! The only missing hints are for bonus levels, and those will be done in the next patch within the next few days.

I keep saying it, and it keeps being true. The support and enthusiasm from the puzzle community is overwhelming. I'm glad you're liking the game and spending 30+ hours of your life to playing it. Please keep telling others about the game. I want to watch more YouTube videos and Twitch streams! I also want to start playing your custom levels, so please join the Discord server to share them! I might even make it a regular thing where I stream some user submitted levels. (Eventually I'll add Steam Workshop support, but for now Discord will have to do....)

Here's the 3rd patch.

Puzzle changes

  • Removed a block on the left side of the hub puzzle because it created a possible scarlet herring; i.e., a red herring that is especially attractive. As much as the penguins like herrings, I do not.
  • Renamed puzzle `tmp` to `Temporary` to make it fit the naming style of the rest of the game.
  • Added hints for all puzzles in Replication.
  • Tweaked hints for a few other levels based on feedback. Please keep sending feedback my way!

Misc

  • Keep Warp bind prompt hidden until a sublevel has been seen. This is only relevant for a single level in the very late-game.

Bugfixes

  • Scroll wheel binds are given a special exception to not trigger "menu back" because of collisions with normal scrolling. However scroll wheel down could mistakenly trigger "menu back" from menus like warp, journal, pause, and settings if the end popup was visible. Now it cannot.

Thanks to everyone that has shown support for the 1.2 Anniversary Update and our appearance in the Thinky Direct! Here's the trailer in case you missed it. Usually after a big update there will be a few small follow-ups and this update is no exception.

Originally I had plans to include these changes in a bigger patch that will drop once Simplified Chinese translation of all hints and puzzle names is finalized. However I did not want to delay some of these changes (particularly to G and Diplopia since they were introduced in 1.2.0), so I'm pushing it out now to Windows and Linux users. It takes quite a bit more work to get builds ready…
