What we’ve been working on
First of all, we’d like to give you a quick reminder of the most notable changes in the update.
We have fixed the trophies that weren’t working properly, so you can get all your achievements and the Platinum now. The crashes, which were preventing players from advancing through some areas, have also been resolved, including the one that happened when arriving at the Long Fuse Jones boss fight. Another important change is that we have added the ability to break the stones during the ending backtracking section, which is a temporary fix we’ve implemented while we work more on this section of the game that some players struggled with.
Aside from that, there’s been other bug fixes and changes, as well as improvements on the optimization of the game. You’ll also notice there are some new things that weren’t in the previous post, which include some changes in the gameplay and sound.
We hope you enjoy this update, and we’ll be paying close attention to your feedback about it to continue improving. As you know, we are still working on more updates, and a lot of things are coming to the game still, so make sure to stay tuned!
