Taco Tom 2 has (finally) been updated to v1.2.1 on Steam! This update adds all of the new features from the console versions of the game, including a Visual Novel mode, Random bonus mode, and more. If you're wondering why this build is v1.2.1 and not v1.2.0, that's because it also adds an alternate character art pack, available in the Options menu!

I hope you've enjoyed playing Taco Tom 2 so far! Here are the patch notes for version 1.0.2:
Fixed bonus mode times and scores not displaying correctly
Changed a few lines of dialogue
Swapped the backgrounds of levels 4-7 and 4-8 so a joke in the dialogue in level 4-7 makes more sense
