We’re excited to announce a new feature for Brave Escape - Casual Mode! Does your friend have trouble with platforming (or maybe you’re that friend)? This new mode is designed to make your adventure a bit smoother. Casual Mode Added Casual difficulty, a more approachable experience with fewer spikes and more forgiving timing, ideal for players less experienced with precision platformers. You can swap between Casual and Standard difficulty at any time. Secret levels are only accessible when playing the level on Standard difficulty. Localization Added Chinese translation! Thank you Skyler Jiang.

Hello Everyone, I wanted to bring you an exciting update on something we've been working on. We’ve been hard at work implementing a brand-new Casual difficulty mode for the game. This mode will feature adjustments such as fewer spikes and more forgiving timings (e.g., longer delays before triggering falling platforms). We’re thrilled about the opportunity to reach a whole new group of players with this update. Casual Mode will be available to play this month. The official release date will be announced soon—stay tuned! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3437985402
