Hey folks, Chris here!

Patch notes are below, but first I want to thank everyone who has left a Steam forum post, review, and shared your bugs and logs with us on Discord. Please consider joining to help us keep improving the game: https://discord.gg/ccvEqMynf7

If you haven't already, also PLEASE consider leaving a review for BIG HOPS!

Now that the game has been out a while, people finding it decide to buy based on the general sentiment from reviews and you can really help us out there. Because it's a long game played over multiple sessions we don't get as many reviews even though a lot of people have bought and are enjoying the game.
