Today is the 1 Year Anniversary of the game's release, so I wanted to make sure today was a bit special!
1) The game now has a manual. It's kind of a manual kind of a guidebook, I wasn't sure exactly how to classify it, but on Steam it's the Manual button in the library!
It covers menu navigation and basic gameplay, but it also covers gameplay strategies, how to get certain secrets, and a short story rundown.
2) (Steam-exclusive) The game now has a few avatars! Not huge, but I noticed I could upload some so I did. Now everyone can show how big of a Lean Monster Gaming fan you are.
3) Craigzie and I are hosting a meme competition / giveaway of the game, but if you're reading this, you probably own it already. So lmao.

4) The game has received an update!
In regular Changelog fashion, below is all the information just copy and pasted from the game itself:
Additions:
- Lean Monsters can now block Pipes in the Manual Restabilise Minigame when you're late-game.
- New Custom Game setting for the above too, because I can't make an update without trolling The Craig attempters.
- Added subtle holiday + anniversary decor.
- Added 9 new unlockable Lean Skins.
Changes:
- Minor visibility improvements to fonts and Lean Simulator: Remastered.
- Added an extra subtle texture to the Styrofoam Cup Lean Skin.
- Increased how much PTSD is earned from The Craig. Previously 10x, now 100x.
- Made the Lean Counter a little wider to support an extra digit.
This also makes the "Limit Breaker" Achievement slightly harder.
- Atmosphere Bonus is now less effective towards the Ceiling Lean Monster.
- Ceiling Lean Monster is now affected by Custom Game Lean Monster Aggression.
- Atmosphere Bonus is now less effective towards Emily Tauren.
- Atmosphere Bonus effectiveness on Lean Monsters is now randomised.
- You are now re-alerted for extreme time survival Achievements.
Thought it'd be funny for the game to tell you to take a break every time.
- The amount of Replacement Pipes you get in the Manual Restabilise Minigame is now limited,
but can be replenished by Restabilising the Lean Machean.
- Paying for a Machean Fix now resets the Manual Restabilise Minigame.
- "Generator Stability" now renamed to "Machean Stability" for consistency.
- Lean Monsters will now start breaking down your door significantly earlier in the game.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an oversight where the Godot Plush Easter Egg was present 100% of the time.
- Fixed a softlock that occurs when you Shatter the Upgrade Interface during the tutorial.
- Fixed the camera not transitioning during the tutorial.
- Fixed a scenario where the Manual Restabilise Minigame didn't complete when it was supposed to.
