Update overview
Find the feature update and later repair that match your installed version. The overview connects announced changes to their full notes instead of combining all dates into one ruleset.
Patch Notes
Everything is Crab Patch Notes and Update Archive
Match a reported change to the version installed when your result occurred. This archive separates full content updates, smaller repairs, launch information and plans that have not become released features. Begin with the update overview, then open the dated notes for the mechanic or failure you are investigating. The latest listed hotfix, version 1.2.1, covers save, boss-fruit and controller issues; those repairs should not be confused with the new saving features introduced in version 1.2. Each released-version card also links affected guides, so a changed achievement trigger or evolution rule can be checked alongside the route that depends on it.

- Update overview
Find the feature update and later repair that match your installed version. The overview connects announced changes to their full notes instead of combining all dates into one ruleset.
- Version 1.2 content update
Read the eight achievement additions, new Genetics, mid-run saving and balance changes. Compare new Legendary selections with upgrading existing evolutions when checking Chosen and Elitist.
- Version 1.2.1 hotfix
Review corrupted Resume Run startup recovery, boss-fruit and controller fixes. Discarding an interrupted run to allow launch is different from restoring that run’s progress.
Read changes in version order
Use an update’s release notes for what shipped in that version, then check subsequent fixes. Keep planned features and older previews separate from the rules you are playing with.

Roadmap and future plans
Separate released changes from announced work, tentative timing and player suggestions. Follow the dated source before treating a planned platform or feature as available.
Version notes
Version 1.2.1 hotfix
Review corrupted Resume Run startup recovery, boss-fruit and controller fixes. Discarding an interrupted run to allow launch is different from restoring that run’s progress.
Affected guides: Save and progress · Attack slots
Version 1.2 content update
Read the eight achievement additions, new Genetics, mid-run saving and balance changes. Compare new Legendary selections with upgrading existing evolutions when checking Chosen and Elitist.
Affected guides: Chosen · Elitist · Pedal Glands
Version 1.1.2 achievement fix
Check the It was a dinosaur unlocking repair against the unchanged Cataclysm finishing condition. The announcement does not promise retroactive credit for an earlier failed attempt.
Affected guides: It was a dinosaur
Version 1.1.1 hotfix
Review the repair for obtaining Stoner specialisations while Stoner was unequipped. Keep this dated behavior separate from later effects and the historical community-vote context.
Version 1.1 update
Check named changes including Zen’s meteor restriction, shiny-encounter goals in Challenges and Stoner specialisations. Those specific changes do not establish eligibility for every other achievement.
Version 1.0.1 hotfix
Read the Robust reduction and Boss Rush changes, including the Independent restriction. Use the dated notes when interpreting launch-era builds and challenge reports.
Affected guides: Robust · Boss Rush · Independent
Launch, totals and previews
Original release
Read the original release information separately from later additions. The 125+ figure combines evolutions and specialisations, rather than counting only base evolution cards.
Version 1.2 preview archive
Compare pre-release previews with the eventual version 1.2 notes. Early images and player guesses did not specify every final effect, unlock or shipped feature.

Find the change that explains your result
Begin with the version on which the problem happened. The August 13 Version 1.2 notes introduce mid-run saving for regular Pressure Runs, Challenges and Endless. The August 20 hotfix addresses a different question: a corrupted Resume Run slot preventing startup. Its recovery behavior discards the interrupted run and lets the game continue; being able to launch again is not recovery of that run. This distinction matters when comparing a new feature with a later repair.
For an achievement, find its named trigger before changing a build. Version 1.1.2 repairs It was a dinosaur unlocking, while the condition still asks for the Cataclysm event to kill the final boss. The announcement does not promise retroactive credit for an earlier attempt. A bug fix and a changed requirement are different reasons for an older guide to need attention.
Read balance changes alongside the affected card
A route assembled from several dates can combine rules that never applied together. The 1.0.1 archive records the Robust reduction and Boss Rush changes, including Independent being banned there. The 1.1.1 archive addresses Stoner specialisations obtained while Stoner was unequipped. Read those conditions before treating an old success or failure as evidence for another version.
Version 1.2 also changes what counts as a rewarding selection. Chosen applies to new Legendary evolutions, while the new Elitist genetic distinguishes choosing a new Legendary from upgrading an existing one. Use the affected-guide links beside each version to inspect the individual effect. A familiar card name does not establish that its reward, restriction or interaction stayed the same.
Use announcements for the question they answer
The preview archive shows how information emerged before release: early images and guesses did not specify every final effect or unlock. For a released feature, continue to the full notes. For future work, use the roadmap and retain its distinction between plans, tentative timing and shipped content.
The launch archive serves another purpose. Its 125+ figure combines evolutions and specialisations, so it cannot be compared directly with a count of base cards or website pages. When checking totals, name the category and version first. When reporting a discrepancy, include the guide URL, installed version and differing in-game text; that gives the correction a specific claim to resolve.
