Due to some bugs addressed by players in the Community Hub, I have uploaded some fixes early so the major issues are dealt with. I still plan to have v.1.0.2 be the build which will also include Linux support, and some minor changes
The key bugs fixed are as follows:
- Achievements for defeating bosses not being awarded. All boss achievements should now work as expected.
- Daily Run Scores being merged. Each leaderboard entry should appear on a separate line.
- Title Screen Menu. Uncommon but a small amount of players were unable to select options.
Other small changes:
- Gamepad API has been changed. Very little affect for Windows users but will mean Linux gamers will get gamepad support.
- Minor menu fixes to avoid mouse input conflicting with other devices.
- Fixes made during Insomnia Games Festival.
Thank you to the players for addressing issues when they appear, and to those who patiently wait for them to be fixed. I understand there are some other issues, which I'm working through to address.

Gemstone Keeper is a twin stick shooter where avid explorers go down into the Cistershire Caverns, a large, dangerous and mysterious set of caves and caverns that are filled with vast amounts of rare and valuable gemstones. This game combines the quick and reactionary feel of a shooter with the exploration and decision making of classic roguelikes.
Using an ASCII art aesthetic in its purest form, all visual assets are produced from a single text font file, software rendering and visual effects. The weapon and bullet system is fully interchangeable, over 150 gemstones to collect, several creatures and bosses, different game modes and a soundtrack that echoes through the open spaces in-between the rocky walls. Gemstone Keeper is the shooter that is both fun and eerie.
MINIMAL SETUP
