Howdy! Coming at you with another patch because people found out you could easily softlock the game right at the start, and also because we might have linux back? I've been testing it out, and it seems to work great? Please let me know how it works for you!

Here's a full list of what changed:

[h3] ===== IMPORTANT =====[/h3]

• Gamemaker's Linux export seems to be much improved now? So I've put a Linux build of the game, just to test it out. If you've been using the game with Proton, please turn off the compatibility to download the Linux version. If you have any issues, please let me know!
  

• An achievement has been added for completing a Red Gem challenge. If you already did the challenges, you'll have to go to one of the areas in which you did the challenge to get the achievement.
  
• An update check has been added which will let you know when you're playing an older build so you can go download a newer one. (For now, this is only available in Windows.)
  

• Disabled dialogue history during certain dialogue (such as for minigames.)
  
• Removed the "Exit Stage" option from certain stages (it no longer fits in with the new stage layout and I meant to remove it anyways.)
  

• Fixed a bug where Lance would stop moving with platforms if you spun on one while standing still.
  
• Fixed a bug where pressing the notes button during certain segments would softlock the game.
  
• Fixed a bug where you could open up one of the barriers in the Abandoned Mines from the wrong side just by spinning at it.
  
• Fixed a bug where a question mark icon would remain on the map even after getting the Cat Coin in the Abandoned Mines.
  
• Fixed a bug where having "Skip Cutscenes" enabled would make the game not play any music until you stepped outside Lance's house.
  
• Fixed a bug where missing files in the installation folder could cause the game to softlock instead of telling you what file was missing.
  
• Fixed a bug where Steam Stats just weren't working at all.
  
• Fixed a bug where the game would not read save files if they had been converted to multi-line JSON files (ie. with an editor like VS Code, which allows you to format JSON files.)
  
• Fixed a bug where the game would mark that you got achievements on save files that you did not get the achievements on (does not affect Steam achievements.)
