Release Notes &mdash; Steam Announcement

We managed to cram so much content in this HOTFIX release  PATCH that it makes sense to call it an UPDATE, which makes this the first proper update since Noita 1.0 released two weeks ago. Yay! This update comes with the usual bunch of new content, changes and fixes. There are also some performance optimizations, and some of the more powerful spell combos will now sound better.
