- When using a controller, the game re-calibrates directional input at the start of each level. Holding a direction at the beginning of a level can result in this issue.

Linux build of version 1.0.2 won't run
- The Linux build of version 1.0.2 (the only version still available to those who purchased the game from Humble Bundle) comes with a broken 64-bit executable which crashes with a segmentation fault, while its 32-bit executable requires
libsteam_api.so
which is not included.[5] (The initial Humble Indie Bundle 4 release also had a corrupted 64-bit Linux executable, but this was resolved prior to version 1.0.2 breaking the game again.[6])
Acquire libsteam_api.so and run the 32-bit executable[5]
