Chico is Steam Deck compatible
While we do not yet have a "Deck Verified" status from Steam, the game gracefully supports the Steam Deck's 16:10 resolution, and all of the Deck's built-in gamepad inputs.
Additionally, Chico on Steam uses Cloud Saves, so you can play on your PC and pick it up where you left off on Deck!
That's all for now, look forward to Chico DX's release in just a few days! Happy Steam Deckery

Chico 1.1.0 (and announcement!)
Hello friends! Chico and the Magic Orchards 1.1.0 is now released! This is our first update with more than just bug fixes.
The boss fight against Aviator (Cotton Clouds 2) has been reworked. It should now be more obvious what you need to do to defeat him, and hopefully more fun!
We also have added a new widescreen game border, the GS Classic, so you can really lean into the retro!

Chico 1.0.4
When pressing a switch that made "Something happen in another room", then entering said other room and re-exiting before the "something" could happen, the "something" would never happen and you would soft-lock the level. Now the "something" will happen.
