    Anyone picked this up for the Switch, and more specifically: I'd heard that port was less than stellar, but the devs are patching it slowly back to parity. How's that going? Had terrible performance issues with the PC version so got a refund, but am gagging to play this properly. Holding off until I know that the Switch version has been fixed up.

    They released the first performance fix patch 2 weeks ago and it is going in the right direction but I would still hold off as they will be releasing more, input lag is not as bad as it was but there is still frame rate and loading issues.

    Ah ok; good to know, thanks. I had heard graphical fidelity ain't great either, and that is something else tabled to be improved.

    Looks like the "roguelike" Stretch Goal isn't going to happen, despite hitting the $5 million mark:

    Reads like the engine was never built with roguelike generation in mind; they're bringing in a starting randomiser instead, so you can switch up items & weapons, so not all bad.

    Randomisers are pretty run speed runs so hope to see it in a GDQ
