Bugfix

Straight up bugs that are now squashed

Gameplay

A feature that had been requested makes return

  • Enabled option to skip the intro


[I]Since Day 1 Final Pancake has had problems that were massive, game breaking ones. It's about time we accept that some moves are just too awesome to be portrayed within videogames and move on.

  • Removed Final Pancake from the game, instead Trixie now teaches "Final Fisting"
  • If you were taught Final Pancake in earlier version, passing through Gates of Heaven teaches you Final Fisting


Balancing

I noticed that after the previous update, the enemies didn't do their special moves enough, this rectifies that and other minor balance issues

1.09 update



This is a minor update to compliment the 1.08 patch which was very big, you can read more about the 1.08 patch here

Sad news, the game won't be buyable for a while

Hello, fans and buyers of Save Your Mother. I come with very sad news for a time being.

Effective as of 5.2.2016, Save Your Mother will no longer be able to be purchased from the Steam store. If you find this game on sale during this time, it's a scam and I do not earn a single cent from it. Steam was the only place I sold the game at




My reasons are personal and I would wish people to not pursue asking me about it, especially the ones who know me in real life. I will bring the game back sometime in the future, hopefully this year still. Maybe. This issue is major and affecting me on multiple levels, so I cannot make promises like that about when the game will return. Anyone who purchased the game earlier will keep the game of course and I wouldn't want anyone to take something that supported me through a hard time in my life away from them.


I am sorry for everyone who'd have wanted to buy the game under any of the number of the sales that'll happen this year but this is an absolute necessary and it really tears my heart and I wouldn't do this unless it was an absolute necessary. I worked on this game for over three years and dedicated so much of time, only to have to remove the game away because of issues that are out of my hands, especially when I had just barely broken even in my budget that had taken me years to pay up with my poor income. Once the game will be made purchasable, it'll most likely have a vastly reduced price for good.



Thank you for your support and understanding of this serious issue that has honestly, changed my entire life maybe forever.


Sincerely,
Tuomo Laine, creator of Save Your Mother.
