What's good drunkards?! This is a small patch that adds Godot Mod Loader Support to BEERCRUSH! Now you can make mods and share them with other alcoholics on the Steam Workshop!
Please consult this guide to get started!! And if you have any questions feel free to ask in the discord! Keep in mind that mods disable uploading scores to Steam (but you can still unlock stuff and earn achievements).
Now here are the patch notes:
Added Godot Mod Loader Support.
Added an Epilepsy Warning when starting the game for the first time (disappears after tutorial is completed).
Fixed being able to click through the quit pop-up, and start runs with it on screen.
Cordially,
LOWLIGHT TEAM

Hello Alcoholics! Another patch has hit the Steam database, with improvements to controller support and bug fixes!
Massive improvements to controller support:
Added a new page in the settings specifically for controllers (Settings > Controls > Gamepad Settings)
Features a dropdown for vertical camera movement options and sliders for the minigame head speed, cursor speed, and joystick deadzones.
Triggers can now be set as inputs (i.e. you can set slide to RT/LT).
Fixed dropdowns not working with controller.
Fixed controller not working with John's TV.
Note: BEERCRUSH was designed for mouse and we still highly recommend playing with that instead of a controller. But if you must, it should work a lot better now.
Fixed issue where sometimes bottlecap icons would be stuck to your cursor when selecting one in a run.
Fixed bug where John's corpse could drink beer.
Fixed bug where there would be no door kick SFX in Homebrew Wasted.
Fixed an OOB bug in The Abyss.
Regards,
LOWLIGHT TEAM
"Hi, my name is John, and I'm an alcoholic."
We know we're 5 months late, but since some people have asked about it, we have an official discord server now! Talk with other alcoholics and figure out ways to drink even more beer!!
Hello once again beer addicts!! First of all, the Steam Soundtrack has FINALLY been updated with the new songs!! Same with the Bandcamp Album! Go take a listen!! (It'll be on YouTube very soon too!)
Also, 1.1.3!!
New Legislation Passed in City World:
Slide Windows will now only appear before a gap, preventing incredibly hard to avoid damage when a Door was next.
Doors are now guaranteed to appear after a Jump Window (no more Slide Windows), preventing a jump --> slide combo that may have been too tricky.
Adjusted number of tiles before a gap to be a hard-set 4 tiles. Previously was picked randomly between 2 and 4, leading to very long chains of obstacles if you were unlucky.
Adjusted streetlamps to be more out of the way.
Added a texture to the archway.
Increased Maximum Mouse Sensitivity from 2.0 to 4.0. Also, you can now see what the exact value is.
Added new option for Mouse Acceleration (off by default).
Fixed NERD Steam Achievement not unlocking (again).
Minor fixes to the CRT Border Unlock:
Now shows a notification when unlocking (just like other borders).
Unlocks immediately upon scoring 25 points, instead of after losing with 25+ points.
Fixed issue where scores with times greater than 30 minutes would not show up on the leaderboards.
Fixed more issues with a certain alternative world.
Platonically,
LOWLIGHT TEAM
We at LOWLIGHT TEAM have finally created the ultimate update to a video game.
Hired a Hollywood celebrity voice actor for Kyle to increase immersion.
This is activated by enabling Kyle Mode in Settings > Other.
Additionally, Kyle is now green to increase immersion.
Fixed issues with large numbers in the Stats Menu.
Fixed issues in a certain alternative world.
Reverted Kyle's skin tone from green back to pink/purple (too immersive).
Say Hi to Kyle for us,
- LOWLIGHT TEAM
Hello again drunkards! After a mildly rocky start to the update, we have a minor update to patch up some remaining small issues.
Added an option to delete your save file. This only appears in Settings > Other while on the Main Menu.
Only deletes your progress in-game, not any highscores or Steam Achievements.
Extended the leaderboard textbox to allow for six-digit numbers (INSANE!! WELL DONE!!)
Added a Tab to the BEERMAN to make it easier to see.
Fixed the background of John's TV appearing as a black void.
Fixed the CRT Border unlocking at 5 rounds instead of 25.
Fixed HELL minigames having no audio during Kyle's Brew.
Fixed some issues with the Jetpack in HELL.
Fixed Casino Cards not having a sound effect in Bottomless.
Fixed the text on the Quit menu.
Fixed a typo in a death quote and in the Settings.
Added a check to unlock John's Brew if Bottomless is already unlocked. (A bug that was introduced via a hotfix)
Once again thanks for all of the support and for reporting bugs!! And keep chugging!
Lovingly,
- LOWLIGHT TEAM
New Gamemodes!
Bottomless
Drink an endless amount of beer! As you descend, you’ll encounter a new world: The Abyss. Completing it will give you a score bonus and allow you to dive deeper, but it won’t be as easy as before…
John’s TV
Complete as many Beer Minigames as you can! John will require higher accuracy and speed as you go on. At least Kyle is there to tell you what world is next.
Homebrew
Create your own beer! Select a world, a gamemode, your loadout of Bottlecaps, and a few other settings before blasting away!
Includes 3 Challenges! Do you have what it takes? Probably!
Note: Bottlecaps need to be discovered before they can be used in Homebrew. However, since this is a new feature, all bottlecaps will appear locked even if you have seen them before. To bypass this, go into Settings > Game > Allow all Bottlecaps to be Selected in Homebrew.
Other new additions!
Alternative Worlds
Every world has an alternative variant that can appear, featuring new music and textures! Some even have new obstacles!
Also includes fish!
Note: Alternative worlds can appear in any gamemode. If you prefer not having the alternative worlds in the Alcoholic, Happy Hour, and Wasted gamemodes (the way they functioned before this update), the Alternative worlds can be turned off via Settings > Game > Disable Alt Floors in non Bottomless Modes.
The BEERMAN!
Beat Happy Hour to unlock the BEERMAN, allowing you to listen to any music you’ve discovered while playing!
Speedrun Leaderboards
New leaderboards have been added to showcase your best winning times!
Note: If your highscore in a gamemode was achieved on a run you won, that time will be uploaded automatically to the speedrunning leaderboards when you start the game.
Improved Stats Page
Added new pages to view your best times and watch any of the endings you have discovered.
Improved Settings Menu
Added tooltips to some settings, and added some new toggles, such as a way to disable particles and simplify Food World textures.
Sliding Physics Improvements
Sliding into a corner will now let you smoothly ride against it.
4 New Borders and Achievements
We’re revoking all of your gold portraits until you get these achievements!
Other changes:
Added animations to the gamemode selection menu
Added Start button to the gamemode selection menu
Added SFX to Casino cards & City windows/doors
Buffed Magnifying Glass: The wall hiding the secret will now be removed when the chime plays
Improved lava textures
Made entering the Liquor Store more forgiving
You will now shoot stars with a certain secret bottlecap during the Final Boss (purely visual/audio)
Fixed HELL vanishing if you decided to turn around in the final hallway
Fixed clipping through the floor when getting rid of the jetpack
Fixed beer cans becoming Beer Boxes too late into world generation
Beer cans gravitating towards you will snap to your position if not acquired in 0.5s
Fixed clipping issues in the Final Boss
Fixed bug where sliding into a beer caused you lose all speed
Fixed bug where sliding into a shop would cause you to slide in a direction other than forward when exiting the elevator
Skipping endings can now only be done with Slide/Jump (previously it was any key)
Added a few more start quotes
Stopped John from screaming so much when he dies
General performance updates, minor bug fixes, and UI improvements
Other Notes:
If for some reason you don't like fun and preferred the 1.0.3 version of the game, you can still access it in 'Game Versions & Betas' property tab in Steam.
If you find any bugs or have any questions, feel free to make a post in the BEERCRUSH discussions page or send us an email at: [email protected]

Okay cool whatever now onto the juicy stuff... BEERCRUSH: The Bottomless Can, a free major update for BEERCRUSH, is on its way! The two of us at LOWLIGHT have been hard at work on this for a few months, and we're finally really to announce it!
The update will include:
A brand new endless mode (Bottomless) with a new world: "The Abyss"
Blast through as many worlds as you can, and get pestered by The Abyss while continuing your downward spiral...
Alternative worlds! Cosmetic (and sometimes gameplay altering) re-imaginings of every world!
John's TV! A new gamemode that is exactly what you think it is.
Homebrew! Practice any world in any gamemode you like, and experiment with a load-out of your choice!
Bug fixes and Quality of Life Improvements
And more...
ALSO! The soundtrack is finally coming to streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) very soon!! Keep an eye out for it in the next few days!
Thanks again, and keep chugging!

It's finally out! The original soundtrack to the game with the highest blood alcohol content of 2025 has hit YouTube and Bandcamp!!
The soundtrack will also release on Steam! In two weeks. Heh. Forgot about that rule.
But that's not all!
There is now a beautiful speedrun.com page for BEERCRUSH! Thank you so much LOOCA for creating it!!
If you think you have what it takes... submit a run!! Be the first to demolish the sub-5 minute barrier for Happy Hour!!
When we launched BEERCRUSH we both thought the game was going to get like 5 downloads and 2 reviews maximum. The fact that we hit not 10... not 20... but 50 REVIEWS has left us utterly speechless. We cannot thank you drunkards enough for playing this... thing. Cheers!!
Sincerely,
- Pretzol & Dragonsploder
