Achievements now give you 50 gold when they’re unlocked (this will apply retroactively)
I thought it was a little too hard to unlock items at the start of the game. So achievements will now give you 50 gold when they’re unlocked! Already gotten a bunch of achievements? Don’t worry, you’ll get the same 50 gold for every achievement you unlocked before this update the next time you launch the game.

Update: Lives and Time Limits
July 20, 2018: Sword Mans version 1.1.2
New Stuff:
Added versus mode specific settings to a options versus mode options menu. The “number of rounds” and “random stage select” options can now be found in this new menu.
Added lives per round option to the versus options menu.
Added time per round option to the versus options menu.
This update will help bring a lot more customization to the versus gameplay. I experimented with having a few different game versus modes. The modes were rounds (what we had before), lives, and time. But then I figured it would be nice to have a time limit on a lives game, or play multiple rounds of lives games. So instead of separate modes, all three options are now present for you to mix and match as you see fit.
If you want to add lives or a time limit to versus mode, click the "Options" button on the stage select screen.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed a bug where the AI in versus wouldn’t show its health on the healthbar.
Occasionally after exploding, players would suddenly switch from controller to keyboard controls. They don’t do that anymore.
Update: Chapter 3 Bugs
June 27, 2018: Sword Mans version 1.1.1
Just a few minor bugs fixes and things that needed to happen.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed a bug with the chapter 3 achievement. It’s hard, okay?
Filled in the hollow section in flail heads so they no longer float in water.
The chapter 3 boss can no longer change skin tone at will.
