Fixes

  • 1P MMR set (located in the PRESAGE directory) did not match the Official set (Machiel) - if you delete this pzl set, a new copy will be extracted when the game next launches
  • monks climbing ladders did not reach the top and idle as per the Original (Tim, Machiel)
  • fixed monks not changing directions on goop covered bricks correctly - this made some puzzles unsolvable (Tim)
  • clicking on the toolbox when outside of the puzzle bounds pasted the selected region (John)
  • monks would fall into a blasted brick instead of teleporting (if above) (Tim)
  • backspace/delete did not trigger required event in textbox controls
  • players did not grab a hand-over-hand bar correctly when idling
  • players did not cross onto ladders the same as the Original (Tim)
  • runners did not start running from idle (straight on) the same as the Original (Tim)
  • monks did not drop treasure when befuddled in front of a ladder (Tim)
  • monks did not cross off a ladder in reverse when changing directions mid-animation - this did not match the Original
  • file dialog did not set the name of the save game when saving an existing game
  • runners did not collect treasure below a ladder when falling (classic mode) (How)
  • game no longer crashes when attempting to save a read-only file (Tim)
  • previous brick states did not keep when changing brick types (eg; goo covering turf, phaze exit becoming solid) (Tim)

Known Issues

  • audio levels go up and down randomly (Windows 10)
  • gamepad feedback keeps going when using more than one controller
  • switching to windowed mode hides the Dock (Sierra)
