Hi!
This updates includes several small fixes, with some more important gameplay bug fixes in the mix.
One change I wanted to point out especially is the "Pet Charming Multiplier" bug. As it turns out, the pet mini-game has been far more difficult than we intended, because the timed-hit and interest multipliers were broken! With this update, the interest level and timed-hits will make a significant difference in how quickly animals can be befriended!
The patch also addresses a few important UI usability issues, some camera adjustments, a few issues that could cause a puzzle to become stuck and unfinished, and some minor performance improvements.
- Fixed pet charming timed-hit multipliers not always displaying
- Fixed pet charming timed-hit multipliers not taking full effect
- Fixed lit fuses getting stuck mid-animation after it has been reactivated while the end animation was still playing
- Fixed rare cases where the warp wells in Vigil Pines could cause the character to slip out of the dungeon and under the main map
- Fixed one of the ladders in the Forest trials where the character could fall behind it and get become trapped [final ladder at the end of the water room puzzle]
- Fixed a ladder bug where the player characters could become stuck permanently in a ladder pose (Gloia could exit this pose with her hammer, but Horbir was trapped forever)
- Fixed UI Scale settings not properly being restored
- Fixed Artifact description popup to work with UI Scales > 1.0
- Reduced how jumpy the camera can be in tight spaces
- Increased the Sprint Stamina heal rate
- Slightly increased the Jackalope befriending difficulty (to counter pet charming timed-hit fixes)
- Reduced timed-hit multipliers (to counter pet charming timed-hit fixes)
- Added something to the Alternate Climb puzzle to reduce confusion when finding it before having the tools to complete it
- Reduced the game launch time before the title menu for some systems
- Memory optimisations
- Reduced the frequency of Steam queries for achievements

We've been equally grateful for all of you reading this, all of you who have been such a positive bunch! While it is a small community, you have all been wonderfully kind and helpful to new players trying to learn the game, solve a difficult puzzle, or to find the last Spirit Sprite by creating tutorials, guides, answering questions, and adding entries to the Wiki. You've also been instrumental in helping us solve bugs that were found with thorough bug reports and sending your save games for us to use as a troubleshooting tool. For all of this, we thank you for being the fine and fantastic people you are!
Like many of you, as the pandemic rolled on our priorities shifted and we didn't have as many updates going live as we had planned, but rest assured that Dwarrows is still our baby, and there is still more to come. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us and for joining us in the little world that we handcrafted with love!
As always, if you've enjoyed the game and think others would enjoy it too, please do leave a quick review! We love to hear your thoughts and it really helps in reaching new people.
This update primarily contains bug and performance fixes, but one larger change is one we've had been planning for a while: Improved Camera Movements!
There have been more than a few complaints about the camera's movement and position being a jarring experience over the year, and I've toyed around with our options to come up with something that's more comfortable to play.
The main goal was to reduce unnecessary camera movements, like when walking a small ledge, or when jumping up slightly. Let us know what you think!

You'll want to enter the tunnel:
and finally enter the Treasure Chamber:
It should be fixed after that, or once you've completed the puzzle.
The options greatly reduce the speed of moving platforms and increase the duration of timed things (like torches or races).
Additionally, some platforms also change size to make it easier.
We've managed to squeeze in a few more bug fixes for some of the more severe issues, like Mayor Schtick and Faavi puzzle elements going missing.
Unfortunately, this version of the game is
