Before I say anything else: Thank you to everyone took the plunge and bought Redirection this week :) The response has been really great, everyone seems to be having fun rescuing Robots! I'm especially pleased to see how many levels people have already uploaded to the Steam Workshop. I got into Game Development through mod communities, so it's really amazing to see one forming around my little game. I'm trying to complete every level that gets uploaded, and it's already getting hard to keep up! Aside from playing your levels this week, I've also been working on updates. There's been a few bug fixes, but also a few features to streamline the submission of Mods in the Editor. Here's the full run-down of everything I've changed this week:

Changes

Reversed the order of the final two levels in the main campaign.
When publishing a mod, the Mod Editor now ensures that every level has a thumbnail and is completable.
When publishing a mod with 4 or more levels, the Mod Editor will combine multiple level thumbnails into one to create the Steam Workshop thumbnail. This makes it easier to spot mods with multiple levels when browsing the Workshop.
After publishing a mod, the Mod Editor will notify the user if they need to sign the Steam Workshop Contributor Agreement.
Added a button to the Robot Arcade to browse Arcade Games on the Steam Workshop.
Created a Steam Community Guide with information on creating Robot Arcade games.
Progress on the "Master Builder" achievement is now based on Total Unique Subscriptions, so it won't go down when users unsubscribe from the mod.
Holding Shift while pressing "Reset Progress" will also reset your Steam Achievements.

Bug Fixes

Fixed an occasional crash when reloading mods.
Fixed the in-game music going silent after playing ~60 levels.
Fixed the achievements "No Robot Left Behind" and "All Good Things..." unlocking early.
Fixed being unable to continue past "Level Complete" message when using a Steam Controller.
Fixed being able to rewind using a Gamepad when rewinding is disabled.
Fixed "inverted switch" tiles activating when Robots pass over them in the wrong direction.
Minor text fixes.
