The Summer Sale is upon us, and we're celebrating by putting Owlboy on a 33% off for the duration of the sale!
Progress
We hope you will enjoy our game, and please let us know if you have any trouble running Owlboy. We are currently working on localizing the game to more languages, and we will keep you updated on our progress :-)
Have an excellent summer everyone!

Minor bugfixing update - 1.2.6380.40070
This version fixes various bugs that have been found in the previous version, including a few issues that were found in the new localization tools (thanks to StiGMaT on the Steam forums for reporting a number of issues!). Most of these issues affected only a small number of players.
Here is a changelog:
- Fixed a checkpoint that could save out of bounds in the cannon area.
- A crash in the cannon area that would happen on some PCs. This has not been tested widely and feedback is appreciated. If Owlboy crashed when entering the cannon area in the old version and still does, please let us know.
- Bitmap fonts weren't user-editable. They now have a user-editable schema and graphics. If you want to use these and are having trouble (or want more features), send us an email at support@dpadstudio.com
- User-made bitmap fonts would sometimes draw incorrectly if they were too wide.
- Another bug where you could get out of bounds in the Boguin cannon area.
- INI files would sometimes crash if hand-edited.
- Fixed a softlock in the Advent level.
- The game would crash if it couldn't detect any resolutions because of a driver bug.
- After changing languages, the "Continue" menu item would say "Start new game"
- Various mostly cosmetic map fixes.

Owlboy Update
We are currently working on localization for Owlboy! If you want Owlboy in your language, please let us know!
These days we are also performing a tour in the US, going to Las Vegas (DICE Summit), San Francisco (GDC) and Austin, Texas (SXSW)! If you're there, come and say hi! We're going by car, and are tagging our posts with #OwlboyJourney, so feel free to check out where we are going next.
Together with FNA creator Ethan Lee, we've produced a version of Owlboy that runs on Mac and Linux. It should be functionally identical to the Windows version, and once you have bought the game, it'll be available on all platforms.
We'll be continuing to update and optimize this port as best we can going forward, like we've been doing with the Windows version.
[Strike]To mark this occasion, Owlboy is now available on Steam at a 33% discount until the end of the weekend.[/Strike]
CORRECTION: The Steam sale has ended (sorry for the incorrect timeline!), but it's still available at the Humble Store and on Good Old Games at the discounted price. At Humble Store you'll get a DRM-free version and a Steam key.
