Thank you to everyone who has been playing Enso and speed running it recently. I've had a lot of fun watching your runs over on SpeedRun.com/Enso This update adds a few quality of life improvements.

Accessibility!

Steam Recording Timeline

• Run started.
• Checkpoint reached.
• Run completed.
• Achievement earned.

Bug fixes

• The game now pauses when you open the Steam Overlay.
• Fixed a bug where the cursor was not correctly locking to the game window when restarting the level.
• Fixed the "" not showing up properly in some French translations.

Just a quick fix for some achievements linked to completing the game that were not unlocking properly. I put ">" (greater than) instead of ">=" (greater than or equal) like a dumb dumb so you needed to complete it one extra time to get the achievement.

First of all, thank you to everyone who has purchased Enso since it released a week ago! I hope you have been enjoying your time with the game <3 I've been working hard this week to fix some minor issues I had with the game, and also to add something new:

Achievements!

Improvements

• Made the tutorial go back to the main menu if launched from the main menu.
• "Any button" no longer skips the congratulations scene, now the player must press escape. This should stop people skipping the stats screen by accident.
• Improved layout of the congratulations scene.

Changes to the level design

• Modify the right-hand passage of the dragon so that it is less scary and punishing.
• Modified the first high jump-up so that the ball naturally sits closer to the rock the player needs to bounce off and made the opposite side of the rock a simple ramp.
• Made the climb out of the cave more forgiving.
• Made it harder to fall into the cave.
• Added a sticky rock at the top of the right-most climb-up just before the temple.
• Fix little spot in cloud above windmill where players could get stuck.
• Fix little spot on dragon's back where the player should be able to sit but the ball would roll away.

Bug fixes

• Fix delay when pausing the game for the first time caused by needing to load the blur shader.
• Zoom back in if you pause while zoomed out.

Embark on a journey of mastery in Enso, a captivating precision platformer that will require a perfect balance of skill and serenity in order to overcome the parkour challenges that await you.

Slingshot Enso up the terrain using just your mouse, and discover new movement techniques as you progress.

Falling is an essential part of this game, however, so is picking yourself back up and trying again. I believe in you!

Enjoy:

• Challenging physics platforming.

• Launching, bouncing, sticking, and spinning your way to the top.

• A minimalistic Japanese inspired art style.

• Great music that adapts to your gameplay.

• Smooth and precise mouse controls.

• Falling back down and getting to start all over again!

Note:

Thanks for checking out my game! I'm Eddy, the solo creator of Enso. I've been enjoying watching the Foddian and rage type games grow in popularity, and wished to contribute to that game genre.

Even though Getting Over It with Bennet Foddy was a direct inspiration for Enso, and I have much respect and admiration for that game, I on the other hand do not wish to hurt you... too much ;)

A little word on "Ensō":

It is the Japanese creative practice of using ink to paint a circle in one fluid stroke, and is part of Zen Buddhism. Just like the challenge in my game, the ensō is its own merit and its own reward.
