This patch has added movement to the game, when you are in your studio or in the store, you now can move your character using wasd or the arrow keys. Moving through the doorways at the edge of the screen will take you to the world map.

The framework for a top 100 song is in place also, it just needs to be finished up. That will be coming in the next 2 weeks. In addition to that, you will be able to name the songs you create.

Once those features are added, I will be taking down the playtest. However, to celebrate, the game will be going on sale for the week following the playtests closure.

For the EA version, 2 new achievements were added, as well as cloud saves. Now you should be able to carry progress over multiple computers.

Thank you so much for your support! Some adjustments have been made according to everyone's feedback:

1. Fixed the missing trap icon
2. Added torches in the tutorial to avoid missing items
3. Forest Encounters have added random pickups of suitcases
4. Added slow motion when the player dies
5. Block the pause menu after a player dies to avoid conflict
6. Modified the label of the injured decal effect to avoid blocking AI's view

There are a lot of difficulties in indie game development, especially in human resources and QA testing. Thank you for your great players!
Maybe one day I can make a big AAA game for you. It's still a long way off. Love you!
