Way of Rhea @ Steam Summer Sale!

Hey everyone!

Way of Rhea is 20% off for the Steam Summer Sale. If you haven't yet picked up a copy, or have been meaning to gift one to a puzzle loving friend, now's your chance. :)

Since releasing in May I've:

  • Fixed four alternate secret solutions
  • Fixed two alternate puzzle solutions
  • Fixed a physics bug that let persistent players clip through a specific wall
  • Added polish to camera motion, UI, achievements, tutorials, and dialogue
  • Fixed a bug that prevented the game from running on mac via Parallels
  • Enabled support for GeForce NOW
  • And more...

I'm looking forward to feedback from folks who pick it up during the sale! The best way to reach me is my Discord server.

Cheers,
Mason

v1.0.6

A few minor fixes...


  • Fixes an alternate solution to the last puzzle in the first end game level (crabs + circuits.)
  • Fixes weird camera motion in the last puzzle in the Hermie rescue puzzle.
  • Fixes the "okay" button on the fast-forward tutorial screen being all the way off in the corner.
  • Fixes typo in achievement text.

v1.0.5

Fixes another alternate secret solution that was less interesting than the intended secret!

It was previously possible to steal a green orb from the first ice level by bringing it through the entrance portal after having Snow Crab pick it up.

v1.0.4

Fixes an alternate solution to the last secret, that would possibly result in the wrong orb color.

It was possible to bring an orb from a previous puzzle in a way that was not intended.

v1.0.3

Fixes issue where you could bypass the second to last ice puzzle in the second ice level by:

  1. Exiting the puzzle without Snow Crab, triggering the save point for yourself
  2. Backtracking into the puzzle again, and letting Snow Crab out so he can trigger the save point as well
  3. Hitting the reset button, and spawning at the save point that you both reached (but never simultaneously)

v1.0.2


  • Fixes bug that caused the "mute when unfocused" option to be unreliable
  • Fixed an alternate secret solution. (In the looping secret, it was possible to choose which orb to leave with. As a result, you could solve this secret twice instead of finding all three secrets.)
  • Added dialogue to the second ice level making clear that this level gets difficult, and it's expected you'll have to leave and come back.


Thanks for all the feedback! You all are killing it with the secrets right now haha.

v1.0.1


  • Fixes an alternate solution to one of the secrets. If you solved a secret by landing on top of a gate while carrying an orb at the end of one of Rhea's levels, that solution was unintended and no longer works.
  • Fixed a minor physics glitch that let you clip through a wall in one of the Snow Crab puzzles if you were precise enough.
  • Fixed a typo in Shrew's dialogue.
  • Fixes a bug that caused the rain effect to display errors when running the game inside of the Windows virtual machine Parallels for macOS. (I can't guarantee compatibility with Parallels, but if you're running it please send me any issues you run into and I'll do my best to resolve them!)

We're featured in the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase!

Hey everyone--thanks so much for a great launch day. After having worked on this game for so long, it's an amazing feeling seeing so many folks enjoy it. :)



I wanted to let you know that we're going to be part of the Cerebral Puzzle Showcase running on Steam running from May 23rd to May 30th. If you haven't picked up Way of Rhea yet, I'm extending the launch discount to cover the full showcase.

If you've already picked up WoR, the festival is gonna have a lot of other great puzzle and puzzle-adjacent games on discount or with free demos. I'm gonna try to take a break here and there throughout the festival to try out the featured games--if I have time I'll share cool games I find in the #gaming channel in my Discord server. If you find anything cool definitely share it with us there!

I hope you all have a great week, and thanks again for all the support. As always if you have questions, concerns, issues with the game, or just need a hint on one of the puzzles hit me up on our Discord, or shoot me an email.

Cheers,
Mason
