A demo patch has been released! Your title screen should say Demo v1.0.1. If it doesn't, you can verify demo files to force the update. (Game Settings -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify integrity of demo files)
Here's what we changed:
- Raised max speed for Simple Endless mode
- TUG! microgame prompt changed to SWIPE!
- Added an arrow indicator to the mouse animation in SWIPE! (previously TUG!)
- The opening cutscene can now be skipped with the spacebar (previously only the escape key)
- Hopefully disabled the bits of code that were causing the game to get flagged by antivirus programs. If you had issues with this, let us know how it goes!
- Added underlines to dialogue options to make them distinct from standard text
- Fixes crashes related to transitions in the main menu
- Fixed the crash that happened when opening the leaderboard or playing endless mode immediately after beating story mode
- Fixed friends leaderboard tab not starting with #1 rank
- Fixed a crash involving the leaderboard that could occur at the end of an endless run
- Made Steam's screenshot key work (F12 for most people)
If you still have issues with any of the problems we claim to have fixed, let us know in the community discussions forum :)
