Latest Steam announcements

  • Backworlds patch 1.2.1 - 10 August 2022

    - Disabled the use of debug keys to skip certain puzzles (thanks fordremat for finding this!)

    Added several resolution options to the video menu Added rumble support for gamepads Improved navigation of pause menu when using gamepads Worldmap now colors each region of the world Menu pages always scroll in and out Various level design and art issues fixed, mostly relating to overscan visibility and jittery physics

  • Backworlds released on Nintendo Switch! - 21 May 2021

    We have been quiet for quite some time here, in part because things have been running smoothly but mostly because we have been busy working on a version of Backworlds for the Nintendo Switch! While Backworlds started as a PC game, we think it is a natural fit for the Switch and we are really happy with how the port came out. It is available on the Nintendo eShop since this morning. So, what does this mean for the Steam version of the game? some of the changes we made for the Switch version take advantage of the unique hardware, but the more generic improvements we will add to Steam in an upcoming patch. This includes improved support for gamepad input and rumble, support for multiple resolutions and some other fixes. Tentatively, this will be added in a patch coming in june. Thanks for playing!

  • Backworlds patch 1.1.1 - 21 March 2020

    Prevented game from crashing if certain keys on non-english keyboard layouts were pressed (thanks Gen for finding this!) Made sure doublesize mode setting is saved and restored properly Adjusted physics in one level with dubious collision response

  • Backworlds patch 1.1 - 1 March 2020

    Adjusted scripts in one of the levels to prevent the possibility of getting it into an unsolvable state Screen borders when using the 'freeze' functionality now display properly Fixed bug that could break rendering if entering the video options menu without changing anything Made it possible to change keyboard inputs even if only mouse inputs had been detected Made joystick cursor movement speed consistent across window modes Added option to play the game in a fullscreen window if regular fullscreen causes problems (thanks Martoon for identifying and helping us test this out!) Doublesize mode is now ignored if this will make the window not fit on screen

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 26, 2026 to Sep 26, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

Backworlds's USD price history spans from Sep 26, 2026 to Sep 26, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Backworlds's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 26, 2026 through Sep 26, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Backworlds at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
