Full Patch Notes

New Features:

• Added the Abandoned Mine location
  
• Added 8 new monsters
  
• Added 10 new moves
  

Fixed:

• Fixed a bug that allowed Steam Deck players to exit the controllers menu without assigning any controllers to a playable character, which would cause the game to stop responding to input.
  
• Fixed Tower Defence colour change persisting even after switching to another tape.
  
• Fixed Landkeeper NPCs remaining in the Landkeeper HQ after Mammon’s rematch.
  
• Fixed Landkeeper NPCs in the Landkeeper HQ being interactive even though they do nothing.
  
• Fixed the camera swinging around a lot unnecessarily at the back of Cherry Meadow.
  
• Fixed the inventory allowing you to use an item you have 0 of (in battle).
  
• Fixed Glass Shards going invisible but continuing to take effect when the fusion it’s attached to de-fuses.
  
• Fixed ItemDrops being interacted with and picked up multiple times if the interact button is repeatedly pressed very quickly.
  
• Fixed players being able to clip through walls and warps in the Cherry Cross Station elevator when the framerate is low.
  
• Fixed Frankie’s tape remastering into the wrong type (when remastering would normally change a tape’s type).
  
• Fixed a potential (albeit unreported) crash that could occur if you enter a building after getting the Harbourtown gate key before continuing with the rest of the tutorial.
  
• Fixed the Coal Story move having the “Status Effect” category instead of “Ranged Attack”.
  
• Fixed the merchant music track not looping correctly.
  
• Fixed the in-game “Real Life Awaits” achievement not unlocking.
  
• Fixed some of Viola’s dialogue after completion of her quest playing out in the wrong order.
  
• Fixed Captain Judas’s rematch using the wrong music.
  
• Fixed Barkley having a regular Fire-type Pombomb tape instead of the intended Ice-type bootleg Pombomb.
  
• Fixed post-game human enemies fusing with monsters created by Fission Power, which would lead to a very difficult battle as they then fully heal and re-fuse any time you de-fuse them.
  
• Fixed a sticker duplication bug.
  
• Fixed archangel minions being recordable.
  
• Fixed Jellyton and Coaldron having a Max AP of 8 instead of the intended 10.
  
• Fixed the item randomisation seed not being saved.
  

Other Changes:

• Bootlegs can no longer be defeated on round 0 by the Bulletino Cartridge Shard or Random/Custom Starter stickers.
  
• Removed positional audio from the UI, which can sound and behave strangely on some surround sound setups.
  
• Added a workaround that should avoid softlock caused by Cheat Engine breaking the ranger noticeboard when spawning in tons of fused material.
  
• When saving, the game now attempts to verify the new file before overwriting the old one, which should help avoid corrupting files when things go wrong.
  
• Added a crate to Mt Wirral to make a certain version of Morgante’s song easier to accomplish.
