Update Notes:

New Features

• Added achievements to the game. Most of them can currently be obtained in the demo version, but you will need the early access version to get them all. The Steam client will not track achievements for the demo version.
• Added a banner that appears when a checkpoint is reached in a Vault level.
• Added a pointer that points to Mr. Stretch's head when it is offscreen. This currently only appears in one level.
• Added an ending cutscene to the Grand Entry vault.
• Added a Restart button to the Artifact Vault win screen.

Early Access Features

To enable these features, you will need to purchase Mr. Stretch and the Stolen Fortune, now available in early access.

• Added the Waterworks area. This area features water that hurts Mr. Stretch on contact.
• Added the Waterworks Vault. Beat par score on all Waterworks levels to unlock it!
• Added Water Valves. Activating one of these temporarily lowers the water level so Mr. Stretch can get to submerged areas.
• Added Bubble Wands. When Mr. Stretch passes through one of these, he is covered with a bubble that protects from water damage, as well as a single hit from spikes or other ghosts.

Accessibility Features

These are present in both the Demo and Early Access versions and can be toggled on the ingame Settings screen.

• You can now hold down your controller's South face button (or Space on the keyboard) to move slower.
• Added the Pain Cam. This shows where Mr. Stretch was hit if the hit happened offscreen. This is enabled by default.
