- Patch Notes - Version 1.02.01 - 8 April 2025
This is a small patch focused on improving mouse controls. Patch notes: Improved the movement of the Scouter cursor when using a mouse. The in-game cursor now follows the system cursor so it will feel much more responsive. Removed the "Mouse Sensitivity (Scouter)" setting from the Options menu since it's no longer needed. Confined the mouse cursor within the game window while playing to avoid accidental clicks outside the game. The cursor is not confined in menus. Improved the screen scrolling behaviour when using a mouse in Scouter mode. Fixed an issue introduced in 1.02.00 with sluggish zooming when using the mouse wheel. Fixed a couple of minor visual glitches.

- The Nudge Update - 27 November 2024
This update introduces a new highly-requested ability to Pinball Spire: the Nudge ability! The Nudge ability can be used to bump the ball based on the input direction. Use it to save the ball when it's falling down between the flippers, or to help steer the ball where you want it to go. The Nudge ability is not required for any of the challenges in Pinball Spire but it can still help you along your journey! Like the other abilities, nudging consumes a small amount of mana. Unlike the other abilities it also has a limited number of uses at a given time. You can use the Nudge three times in a row. These uses recharge automatically on a quick cooldown which is displayed on the icon in the HUD. This update introduces new keyboard and gamepad controls so please double-check your bindings if you made any changes. Patch notes: Added a new Nudge ability. Added a new room to introduce the Nudge…

- Patch Notes - Version 1.0.08 - 20 October 2024
Patch notes: Handle cases where a controller is detected twice. This should fix some input and performance issues with PlayStation controllers and possibly the Switch Pro controller. Fixed Select and Back button mappings in menus for the Switch Pro controller. The game now uses A for Select and B for Back to follow the typical convention for Nintendo controllers. Added a feature to pause the game automatically when a controller is disconnected. Save points have been updated to refill the player's mana when the game is saved.
