Windlands Update Released

Version 0.9.1

22-Jan-2016

An update to Windlands has been released to Steam and will be automatically downloaded.

Big Changes

  • We have introduced the first Challenge Level so you can practice your parkour skills. You will need 2 Power Crystals to open this level, the portal is located next to the Jungle Portal.
  • There are now 40 Tablet Artifacts in the Jungle Level.
  • The Game Hub has been improved.
  • The Jungle Level has been improved with New Areas and Checkpoints.
  • You can now take your Power Crystals back to the center of the Hub to socket into the Machine.
  • We have enabled an Advance Rope mode which can be activated from the Game Menu for those who want a bigger challenge.

Please note we had to reset the save games, we never want to do this, but in this case the changes were very dramatic and it was necessary, we will do our very best to avoid this in future patches, on the bright side you get to enjoy new content along your path, enjoy…
