This update includes a mysterious moustache conjurer, a violent busker, a helpful onion, a few new charms that mix up things, an improved overall balance of gameplay, new scenery, a couple of meals, and various tiny changes. I fixed some weird bugs too. But more important than all that is new music by Huw Roberts! It's amazing, and can be heard in the improved Congratulations Scene when you beat a run. The credits scroll past and characters you've encountered pop up into view in order of appearance. Huw has also finished the title theme, I really recommend sticking around in the title screen and give it a good listen!
As always if you want to suggest anything, I can be contacted via my discord (see link in the store page on the side) or in the community hub discussions. By the way, I am working on a secret third game too. It will feature characters from Idylls but in 3D! But that can be announced properly later.
Catch you later
