When most games get patched or auto-updated, we at least have a few words from the developers about what changes the patch entails. Especially if the game in question has a myriad of technical problems that we know haven’t all been solved.

The speed run leaderboards are now actually updated each subsequent time you beat your ideal time, instead of just sticking with your first score forever. And while the major technical problems such as slowdown haven’t really been addressed, we’re glad that the game is actually beginning to approach what it should have been upon release.
