Journey to Incrementalia news & patch notes

Wall HP now resets when resetting all skills as before. The change was made to try and allow for more experimentation, but I didn't fully consider how it would affect the pacing and game balance, in addition to allowing players to get stuck on certain walls. Sorry about that! Cheers, Adam

Cheers, Adam (Travers DePorc) Incrementalia Discord

BUG FIX

If your achievement was missed and it's still not coming through, to get the achievement quickly you can edit your save file (Change key for "GameCompletions" to 1). Happy to help with this process if you ping me on discord. Apologies for the issues with this. The unlocking should be super robust now. Achievement bugs are the worst! Thanks for playing! -Adam JTI discord

This patch fixes the nasty little bug that kept everyone stuck on their current wall. This one was Bonesley's fault for sure. Apologies for the trouble! If you're on wall 1, better to delete data so you don't have too many skill points from farming the first wall. Massive thanks to everyone who reported this one! -Adam (Travers DePorc)

BUG

- Fixed a bug that prevented saved data loading correctly. This fix may help players who reported their save files being wiped.

GENERAL / QOL

- Fixed some UI problems where controls weren't visible on some resolutions. Steam deck resolution (1280x800) is also now supported.
