Patch 1.5 is here! Along with controller support and Steam Deck verification, this update adds several QoL fixes and enhancements based on suggestions and feedback from the community. The full patch notes are listed below. Thanks for playing, and I hope you enjoy the new features!

Patch 1.5 Notes

• Preliminary controller support on all platforms! I am keeping an eye on feedback and will make further improvements as necessary
  
• Steam Deck verified!
  
• Mini Map is now persistent when exiting Grow Mode and using the Main Menu. It will still close when entering Grow mode to give you space to plan your defenses, but will reopen itself once you exit Grow Mode.
  
• New Quick Metamorphosis UI - you can now select a metamorphosis for your Followers without having to leave the creature you currently possess with Symbiosis
  
• Added some new Permanent Boons
  
• New Mythical Boon: Tear of Gaea
  
• You can now visit creature Homes to purchase resources/followers after a level is complete.
  
• You can now remap the Pause key, and use the Spacebar as a keybind
  
• Fay Spirit now correctly gives Poison immunity instead of Stun immunity
  
• Beehives now correctly spawn Honey Essences as intended
  
• Spirit Bond now increases Follower count by 1 (down from 2) and increases the Health of Followers by 10
  
• Boon of the Tortoise now increases the Defense of the Symbiont and all Followers by 20%
  
• Units created with the Bunniloo's Spawn Rabbit ability no longer automatically follow the parent unit, but will engage enemies and defend the area at which they are spawned
  
• The Bunniloo's Spawn Rabbit ability is now attached to the Bunniloo head when mutated, while the Larger Size passive remains on the body
  
• Rabbit Supremacy and Frog Supremacy stat bonuses reduced to 30% (from 50%)
  
• New targeting UI for tile-targeted abilities, allowing for more precision
  
• You can now use the Resync button on your Achievements page to sync your unlocked achievements to Steam. This can occur if there were network issues when you unlocked a particular achievement
  
• Slightly nerfed the Hex faction's Tainted Stumps - hex flame only affects one tile instead of 5, and increased the cooldown of Hexflame Sap by 5%
  
• Hexfire now has a purple color to differentiate it from poison-based effects and avoid confusion
  
• Updated Game Tips to use controller-specific terms when using a controller
  
• Windowed mode now behaves correctly when set to your monitor's max resolution on all platforms
  
• Fixed UI bugs when the Symbiont and Grow screens were both open at the same time
  
• Mini Map now stays behind the Follower screen when both are open simultaneously
  
• Fixed a bug where the player had to spend Anima to have a previous Follower re-follow them
  
• Closing the Boon select screen does not unpause the game if the Follower screen is open
  
• Fixed some issues with ultrawide monitor resolutions
  
• Performance improvements, particularly in later levels with a large number of units
  
• Several crash fixes
  

Technical Notes for Modders:

• You can now add custom Chrysalises which will be unlocked by default (unless there is an achievement associated with them)
  
• Added new triggered ability effect: PRODUCE ITEM, works similarly to the passive effect but does not use "production time" fields
  
• Added new ability spawn "special effect": "NO FOLLOW"
  
• Fixed crash that occurred when friendly modded species died
