Official Version 1 Update
After so many updates I am happy to announce the official version 1 (stable) of the game. I did a battery of tests with our QA and came to solve all the issues we could find. Here is the list of fixes:
- Fixed the weird behavior of the 3rd boss Demeb while trying to beat her again
- Fixed some Colorchemy Laboratories not being re-playable
- Fixed a bug when you die after entering a bonus on level 4-1
- Fixed the dialog skipping bug (constant fading)
- Fixed a bug with the achievements The Alchemist and Untouchable (sometimes the deaths were not properly counted)
The game is not over! Soon I hope to release a bunch of new content like new mounts, new artworks and small changes on the world map screen. Stay tuned! :)

Bufixes + Progress on library
In this new small update we have included a visual demonstration of the current game progress on the Library when you save as you can see below:
This makes easier to know what is still missing to collect :).
We also made some extra bug fixes on the level 1-2 balloons and changed a little bit the animation when you collect a relic or the bonus coin. Also fixed the light effect on the bullets shot by the enemy Mongold (the monkey with the gold arm).
Have fun!
Aim tutorial + balloon bugfix
In this small update we have fixed the overlapping ballon bug on level 1-2 where your character would get "inside" de balloon base while you move in it.
We have also included a tutorial for the aim feature usage. When you hold the switch character button a aim will appear. You can then choose where the other character will appear before you start controlling it (it's our Kawarimi no Jutsu).
During the latest events we also want to make clear that Indigo Arts stand by everyone fighting for equality. That was always the case, for all the very needed movements. We always tried to show that on our games and always will. So today we also want everyone knows that Black Lives Matter!
Bugfixes + level progress display
In the last May 27th Heart of Smoke was played during a live by the Brazilian channel Inside The Gamer Brazil. You can watch it below:

During that live some bugs were found and this update fixes all of them:
- Changed "space" key to any key on title screen to start the game (this caused some confusion)
- Fixed all the accents and text being cut for portuguese translations
- Fixed the character always get moved to the start of the world map after the first puzzle
- Fixed the hot air balloon being stuck on the temples of level 2
- Fixed the endless mount (Smokler) time after entering the bonus on level 2
- Fixed not being able to leave the game using the pause menu
- Fixed the "moonwalking" Mongold on level 1
Not only that, but we also included the level progress in % during the world maps. You can now check how much you still have to complete each stage.
Have fun!
Achivements + game ending
In this update (probably the last on early access) we have included the support for Steam Achievements and a better ending for the game!
You will have the opportunity to collect 33 different achievements during the entire gameplay. The achievements are separated in multiple aspects of the game such as: item collecting, player skills, boss battles, etc.
The game ending now is bigger and give a better explanation of what happens after the final events. Featuring arts of the amazing J. V. Calfa (@vitorcalfa).
Enjoy!
German translation + game introduction
In this new update 0.5.0 we included the support for the German language in all the dialogs and menu interface. This translation was provided by Ezero, our European publisher.
We also included a introduction to the narrative in the game. This introduction will tell what happened to the Academy of Wizards and Sages and how our heroes got into this trouble.
Hope you enjoy!
Stable Version + Simplified Chinese Support
We just launched a new update of the game with many bug fixes and putting back the simplified Chinese language support!
Some players were experiencing bugs in the first stage of the game when trying to play it again. Other bugs in the map navigation. But we fixed it all.
The simplified Chinese translation is still missing the game controls screen, but we will add it really soon.
Enjoy!
