After wrestling with a whole bunch of technical issues, the soundtrack is FINALLY on streaming services! Woo!
The original plan was to release this update around now. The truth is the second half of this update has ballooned in scope into a full revamp. Minor cutscene brush ups won't suffice any more. RUBATO v1.3 will completely replace the final third of the game. This will be tighter a
Fixed using "exit subarea" for some subareas Fixed Forest map crash Fixed camera zoom out in some rooms of the game Changed "lbame" to "blame" Fixed seizure-y jetpack animations when you fly under a lamppost in Area 3 Fixed achievement typo Fixed typos Ball count doesn't reset af
This update has been tested pretty thoroughly, but things always slip through. Please report any bugs here!: Director's Cut Part 1? The changes to the latter half of the game have become much more ambitious than originally planned. So I'll be releasing an additional update that w

Fixed item inventory order being weird. Made the boat subarea kinder Falling far enough below a room will now restart it, prevent any minor softlocks when using any of the accessibility toggles Fixed a bunch of minor typos New experimental VM compiler branch added
