Hey guys! Coming at you today with a revised build from yesterday. A lot of people had trouble with the river challenge, including people with better computers than mine? It was really inconsistent and I'm not sure exactly what it was, but in this update I rewrote how all of the river challenge elements are drawn and it *should* fix the issues!

Also, there *may* be a bug that's resetting progress? If you've already beaten the mushroom boss but you find that you can fight him again, or you don't have the extra health from him, please let me know! I'm not sure if it was me doing debug stuff with the flags or if it's actually a glitch.

This build also fixes a few other issues, including a major memory leak that was able to take up gigabytes of RAM in just minutes LOL many apologies for that. As always, here's the full patch notes

[h3] ===== IMPROVED =====[/h3]

• Optimizations have been made to the river challenge to hopefully address performance issues.
  

• Changed the text that describes how the river challenge works for clarity.
  
• This build was made with the version of Gamemaker which came out just today, so it may introduce bugs that I didn't see in testing.
  

• Fixed a major memory leak on the title screen when showing where you saved on that file.
  
• Fixed a memory leak caused by the game not cleaning up the menu properly when using it to go to a different area (save and quit etc)
  
• Fixed a bug where you could collect rings by touching the edge of them. now you have to be inside the ring for it to count.
  
• Fixed a bug where cat coin/fish scale totals would show on the pause menu of the river stage, which has no collectibles like this.
  
• Fixed a bug where you could pause at the end of the river challenge and put the game in an inconsistent state.
  
• Fixed a bug where light sources weren't being drawn on objects that should have them.
  
• Fixed a bug where recovery fish did not have light sources.
