- Game breaking bug where if you saved at 1 certain point in the game and quit, it did not save the player status and prevented progress.
- Hidden achievement that should trigger after the end sequence played moved to the start of the end sequence to fix a rare bug where it would not trigger.
- Also makes sure the player gets the achievement if they quit during the end sequence.
- Moved the game completion achievement to the start of the end sequence for the same reason.

Beta 1.1 Available
Beta password captainmacawbeta.
While this will not reset your progress, due to new items and locations, this may have unforeseen side effects to existing saves so releasing as an opt in beta for the time being.
The main reason being the current steam sale.
I want to give current players who have a game in progress, time to complete.
Please report any issues via auld-games.co.uk website.

It allowed you to bypass a cartain puzzle if you were playing on a joypad.
It did not halt progress, quite the opposite actually.
It allowed quicker progression.
Fixed in this build.
Version 1.001
Thanks very much for reporting issues directly to me and not slamming the game in the reviews.
Means a lot to a tiny independent publisher where every review counts, truly!
I really appreciate the support and being given the chance to resolve issues.
Hotfix
Captain MaCaw - Released!
It is a platform adventure in the style of the old 8-bit puzzle adventures, featuring pirates in this instance!
Captain MaCaw's ship goes down in a storm!
Making sure everyone has cleared the ship, as is the captain’s duty, even a pirate captain, MaCaw gets to the last lift raft.
Washed aboard a strange island, he must work out how to get back home!
He soon discovers that is not as easy as he had hoped and begins to get a strange feeling that something is not quite right......
Thanks to everyone that have supported us on our first release!
The countless nights testing and feedback!
It's been a crazy journey one of which I'm proud of the result.
It's very much a passion project with the purpose of scratching that retro itch.
Giving you that nostalgic pang of firing up the ZX spectrum on a cold winters day!
While every step has been taken to squish bugs, you're never going to catch them all so if any do become apparent, please report through the contact links and they will be addressed promptly.
I am very much an active dev and want your experience playing Captain MaCaw to be as fun as possible!
I truly hope you enjoy!
