- Obstacle popup now properly disables if you have the corresponding boot (thanks juulsezaar!)
- After crafting, Packie properly returns to his starting position instead of perma-floating 1 unit in the air
- Fixed light colliders on 4-things
- Dashing into no longer skips to the ending (thanks nexinex! ... and I think others reported this too and I just thought I fixed it)
- (thanks nexinex!)

Perfect game! I think I 100%'ed in 1.5 hours. Enjoyed every minute of it!
A small bug is the "I want my ichor friend" door text not disappearing after you move away. A great QoL upgrade would be removing the delay between encountering a harvestable item and starting harvesting (i.e. when you're moving while left clicking)
i just 100%ed the game i liked it but personally i think 2 things should be added 1 a map of some sort just to help remember where stuff you find is and 2 when doing the secret ending i had to look through the comments only when i found a comment that you mention crows heard near secrets did i find the secrets now yeah im a little slow for not realizing me turning into a rainbow but i feel like it would be a bit better if you have your compainion or the recipe mention something like "your lantern might radiate colorful light when near one" these are not meant to be rude or say the game is bad i enjoyed it 4.5/5
where do i find verdant fireflies>>>>
loved the secret ending, to me all the passages felt really intuitive to find, which did add more to the satisfaction,.
tl:dr, great game to play at 4 AM, 5 stars
I really enjoyed playing this game and found the story and gameplay interesting and engaging! I just finished the main quest and am looking for the various secrets now, which is fun.

i pressed ctrl to harvest and w to move
it closed the tab
developer response: Fixed thank you!!
controls need to be fixed: "hold control to harvest" + "wasd to move" = ctrl+w being pressed and tab closes
developer response: Fixed! Thanks for the post o7
Saving doesn't seem to work?
developer response: ugh, I tried to fix the save bug that plagues itch.io games and it seems I've made it worse.
I'll get a fix in ASAP, thank you for your report!this should be fixed now!
If you want to go heavier into the 'incremental' side of things, maybe item multipliers in the form of craftable items would help? It can be a bit grindy at times. Great game though!
developer response: Love this idea! I definitely want to ease up on the grind! Thanks for playing and leaving feedback ☺️
You can left click instead of use ctrl.
Using a keyboard button WOULD be easier, but it'll have to be something that's not ctrl.
developer response: I set it to V for now, I'll be sure to add re-binding in a future patch!
