| PATCH 1.0.4 - adding controller support & steamdeck 100% compatibility | 2026-10-14 | Hello there! I took quite a long time for this and I'm sorry, but I'm glad to bring this new big update to the table! \Adding controller support:The biggest amount of work for me here was definitely to be able to move inside the skill tree using a controller, and I'm really happy with how good it feels!You can now play the game from start to finish only using any controller or a Steamdeck.I've added (back from my previous games) the "Controller" submenu inside the pause menu, in which you can do a lot of cool stuff:like applying the deadzone you want to your joysticks (in case they are old you could experience joystick drifting otherwise).als |

| Version 1.0.2 - hotfix: the earthquake level 10 is now working as expected. | 2026-07-08 | Hotfix: With the "PATCH VER. 1.0.1" I tweaked the earthquake to make it able to be summon without limit, but I missed one condition in the code, when you unlock the level 10: disabling the earthquake entirely, until you buy the earthquake from the ring of infinity post endgame. Now the earthquake level 10 works fine again. Damn me working at 2am with my eyes half close... Thank you for telling me @Flocc, much love to you! |
| PATCH VER. 1.0.1: Rebalancing the mid-game & improving the earthquake mechanic | 2026-07-07 | Hello, following the very first players feedbacks I just received, I've changed a few elements to improve the game experience overall: I've tweaked the earthquake so that it can now be summon infinitly at every level, but will give a tinier amount of time than before. This change is tiny, yet it feels way better that way. To keep chasing to activate the next earthquake. Also, I've rebalanced the price of the mid-game, meaning the branch of tornado & snowflake & beginning of lightning strikes, with tinier prices overall, to ensure a better and faster flow in the mid game, that was a bit too slow indeed as some player gave me as a feedback. I'v |
