[ 2017-04-21 14:42:24 CET ] [ Original post ] The Way 1.06 - final balance updateBig update. This should wrap things up nicely.
We're done with balancing the difficulty of puzzles and placement of savepoints. Some things changed based on your feedback, some stayed as-is because we decided that's how we want the game to be.
Most/All of the reported bugs should be fixed now but feel free to open up tickets on https://puzzlingdream.freshdesk.com in case of any problems.
Most important changes:
- Fixed crash on continue when you were using a gamepad
- Fixed triggers and bugs for xbox one gamepads
- Fixed translations. Special thanks to Sarcastic Cat and sturmkoenig2k!
- Added mouse support for puzzles where you can select elements
- 2x slower telekinesis energy loss
- No energy loss for shield when reflecting continuous lasers (during puzzles and elevator rides)
- Temple of Life - Moved the switch that lowers the platform after the spider monster chase so it can be activated only after you kill the monster (many people missed the fact that they can kill it - now it should be obvious)
- Mind Barrier Temple - Made the "Abyss" puzzle easier and more obvious - now needs only 4 patterns solved instead of 6. This prevents the puzzle from getting boring in the end but keeps it challenging
- Desert - Added elevator after fixing the water panel that lets you get back down to the pipe circles puzzle quickly (to minimize backtracking). Also, now we're showing the telekinesis circles being unlocked after fixing the water so it's clear that you should go there.
- West generator (sandworm) - Less spikes in the spikes slide

HERE[ 2016-06-08 01:48:31 CET ] [ Original post ] The Way 1.05c - HotfixIt seems the bug that made the game crash was dependent on the user monitor. That's why we couldn't reproduce it (it happened only for some displays).
Let us know if the game is working again for you (make sure it's up to date by verifying game cache first).
The fix is a little bit of guesswork (as we couldn't reproduce the bug ourselves) that's why response from you is important - we need to know if it works :)
If the game still doesn't work please open up ticket on puzzlingdream.freshdesk.com or reply to your previous ticket if you already created one.

[ 2016-05-23 17:07:50 CET ] [ Original post ] The Way 1.05 - Support/Bugfix PatchBIG fix release. Hopefully got rid of all the major bugs and enabled support for all possible platforms.
Most important changes include:
- Support for retina! (finally - let us know if it works for you!)
- Retroactivation of achievements on continuing game (only progress-related ones)
- While aiming, shield now shows a "ghost" of predicted laser trajectory (no more guess work! Makes the "Abyss" puzzle much more enjoyable :))
- Desert with robots - Fixed bug with savepoints (they were triggering only once - that's why all of you poor, tormented souls had to backtrack the whole level upon death. So sorry for that!)
- Desert with robots - Added additional savepoints on each side of the sandhole ladder
- West generator (sandworm) - Added savepoint right after the spike slide :)
- South generator (filters) - Fixed "liquid life" achievement not triggering after turning on the water
- Computer world - Made the boss fight much easier! Sorry for making it so hard in the first place (not intended!)
- Fixed all found broken loads / being stuck in death loop

HERE[ 2016-05-23 06:59:33 CET ] [ Original post ] Release delayed one dayNew release date: May 20, 12:00 PM PDT
It seems that after Steam reported Java not being bundled with the game as a critical issue we had to get re-approved. The app went for review once again. Due to this we had to push the release date one day forward.
Sorry for the delay!
