"FOURBSORT"
NOTE: Seeds are slightly different in 1.4 due to a fix of a bug
Please take screenshots of your old high scores if you want to keep them - the save transfer is imperfect

THE FUTURE
I came back to this game because I hated the idea of leaving this game alone when there was still some other things I could put into it. As such, everyone gets a (relatively) massive content update.
There are still things I want to do. Knockout is badly implemented, and I had an idea for a new mode. I wanna add a bit more music along with them.
But the issue is, I'm using an engine with very limited space. I'd have to do quite a bit of work to fit either in.
Along with that, there's so many other things that I want to do with my time. I've been working on them while I was waiting for something for this game, but I decided I was done with leaving this in purgatory, so here we are.
I have no idea what ORBSORT is going to be in the future but I hope I figure it out. Either a complete fix of Knockout or remade in a new engine entirely.
