Build 132 is live!
You can officially make it through an entire run of SoTF! With the caveat that the final boss is still a placeholder... For now.
This build has a LOT of changes and represents a solid step forward towards our vision of the game. We've been having a lot of fun playing the game lately, which is always a good sign (come join us live at https://twitch.tv/vivavolt).
The latest devlog covers all the major changes, you can see the full changelog below.
