Another round of fixes to brighten up your day
The team has been working hard to address several mild and, more importantly, a couple of critical issues that players have been experiencing. While although we're not happy these made it into the release, we are happy to say that we've hopefully knocked out a few of them!
We'll be keeping a close eye on things to make sure things behave as they should.

- (update) Collectibles in the strategy now have an effect added to them to make them more visible

And we're back!
As you might have heard, we ran into a super big issue earlier that was preventing players from proceeding in Smelter.
The team has found the issue and the updates have been made!
Again, we're really sorry about the inconvenience!
With that said, here are the short and (hopefully) sweet patch notes:
###Platformer
(fix)Fixed a critical issue that was causing Eve to fall through the stage.
An Ain't So Hot Fix
Brian here!
With our previous hot fix update, we've unfortunately broke other things causing Smelter to be unplayable once you reach Guumbor. I know this has been frustrating for you all ><
We've tracked down the issue and are working on a fix as I write this post.
Really sorry for the inconvenience but we should have a fix very soon!
Please just hang tight while we get things back to the way they're supposed to be!

Join Eve and Smelter on their journey to find Adam in this action x strategy hybrid inspired by the classics from the 16-bit era!
In Smelter, players take the role of Eve, who embarks on a journey to find Adam and meets a mysterious being who goes by the name “Smelter.” After some quick convincing, Eve fuses with Smelter, gaining incredible power, and agrees to help Smelter expand his empire in a joint effort to discover Adam’s whereabouts and take back what’s theirs. The game unfolds in a rotation between strategy and action stages, punctuated by cinematic sequences, all wrapped up in a wacky narrative.
