Hey everyone! I just got back from the orchard with a fresh update for all of you to enjoy, hand-picked myself from The Update Tree. Turns out updates really do grow on trees!

A Short Hike plays best with a controller, and while it should work with common controller setups out of the box, I wasn't able to cover every situation. There are tons of different controllers which each act a little differently depending on the OS, the drivers, and even if they're connected over Bluetooth or not! This update introduces Advanced Controller Configuration to help resolve any conflicts between your controller and A Short Hike.

Also, it's been about two weeks since the game was released, and I just want to say thank you to everyone who played and shared my game. I really appreciate everyone who's taken the time to let me know they enjoyed it. I love reading everyone's reactions to the different discoveries in the game, and I've even seen some amazing fan art as well! Thank you everyone for all the wonderful support <3
