- Patch 0.82 - 2 July 2024
Hi everyone! This is a small patch to fix a bug where Steam achievements for hotshot and freak difficulties weren't coming through. Sorry about that! Your victories will still be saved even if the achievement didn't trigger previously. Now in 0.82 getting a win on hotshot or freak will trigger any relevant achievements for that difficulty retroactively. Thanks for playing! If you're enjoying the game, please consider leaving a review. They help me a lot :) Cheers, Adam
