This patch includes a big refactor of the last level, Artifact-Zero.
After receiving a lot of valuable feedback, we decided to go back to the drawing board on a few things. The level has been stream-lined for more clarity on where to go, and a lot of the frustrating sections have been replaced with something a bit more fun. We hope you have a blast!
The full changelog:
