Unfortunately, the working theory is that your save data is somehow corrupt. We're still trying to find a solution, but until then, you might have to delete your save data in order to play again.
Your save data is stored in your Local Appdata folder.
1. Save data is stored in your Appdata folder, so it should transfer between updates just fine. 2. Have you looked at the Controls menu yet? 3. That's honestly not a bad idea, although this is what the Calorie Keys are for, being able to unlock content without getting achievements. 4. Giving Shifting Sugar all of the other characters' unique cakes would defeat their uniqueness, and the decisions related to her character were deliberate. 5. That's a cute idea, though we already have a similar idea planned for a future update...~
Regardless, thank you for your notes, and thank you for enjoying our experience~!
It's worth mentioning that the game was designed to have Arcade difficulty in mind. The game becomes more brutal and punishing the more stages you climb, and you aren't exactly supposed to get stronger...
Still, you've given us a lot of insight, and hopefully once we finish Campaign mode, you'll have a lot more fun with that~!
It's possible your save data may be corrupted, which is usually stored in your Local Appdata. We'll try to find a fix for this, but you may have to delete your save data, or move it somewhere else for now.
For the Fairy, Fairy Kind award, you have to avoid eating 3 Caramel fairies in a single game. I looked into this and couldn't find any issues, but let me know if it still persists.
I like the idea of Sugar's transformation shooting gassy attacks; We might add this in a future update! It's hard to say no to more gas.
As for Pump Punk, unfortunately, custom sprites default to Pump Punk's sprites when something goes wrong, and it's hard to detect. It's simply the safer option. Sorry for the disappointment.
Still, we're glad you enjoyed this project, and we hope to see you enjoy what else we have coming~!
Thank you! Also, Corpulent Coconut is male. (It's okay, it's hard to tell with a cast full of women. He's also the only male character in this game as of now.)
Thank you for your notes! I'll add: You can see some of the bosses' various animations in the Cakiary! It's a bit rudimentary, but we'll see about expanding it (haha) in the future! As for your other suggestions, those are implemented by design. The secret boss interactions are intentionally difficult to obtain. (If you're really bothered, you can always enable cheats.) Regardless, thank you for reaching out!
This game was absolutely delightful from start to end. The characters are cute, the puzzles are engaging, and despite the obvious homage, there were a lot of creative ideas I wasn't expecting to see! The cutscenes are obviously a highlight.
Much like a certain former employee, this experience has left me hungry for more...
The next update will make looking for custom skins even easier. Until then, you can find custom character sprites by looking in the Options menu and turning "Custom Sprites" to "Yes." We hope this helps!
Seriously, though, since that's a Martha-exclusive achievement, I recommend experimenting with her unique gimmicks. Maybe take a certain ability with you to a certain boss... and be sure to get plenty of hits in first.
