A build is one published version of the game's files on a branch. Steam assigns a new build ID every time the developer pushes an update, so this list is the update history of the app. The files inside a build (depot manifests) are only readable with an account that owns the game, which SteamRaw does not have yet, so build contents are not shown.

Hotfix for Practice Mode Update
2022-06-08 03:32 UTC · Community Announcements · Marc Flury
This update contains just one fix for a small bug in the latest update: Fixed case where resume/restart appears (instead of start) on the level select screen when you start a level, complete the checkpoint, restart back to the first checkpoint, then return to the level select screen.
Practice Mode, Improved Restart From Checkpoint, and Other Fixes
2022-06-06 12:34 UTC · Community Announcements · Marc Flury
New Practice Mode: replay specific level sections without getting a score or rank Improved “Restart from Checkpoint” feature: restart from any previous checkpoint (not just current or previous). NOTE: you can only restart from any previous checkpoint on new level playthroughs after updating and not on playthroughs from before this update. Fixed “phantom turns” that can appear under certain conditions in Level 6-9. Checkpoint score/rank tally is displayed at the end of the final section of Level 9 if the level has been previously completed. This helps those attempting to S-rank Level 9. Minor m

What we've been playing
2021-10-08 13:00 UTC · Eurogamer
Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've found ourselves playing over the last few days. Okay, the bad news: sincere apologies but only Donlan had time to contribute this time. The good news is a lot of other people were too busy because they're putting together a huge feature for next week. Enjoy! If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We've Been Playing, here's our archive. I've spent hours with Mystic Pillars, and I've held off writing it up so far because I'm still struggling to put into words exactly what
The 35 best ultrawide games on PC
2020-11-18 18:00 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Katharine Castle)
Ultrawide gaming monitors are the kind of hardware that might seem too excessive, maybe even a bit too gamer to bother with for playing games on PC, especially when their demanding resolutions often require powerful graphics cards to make the most of them. Once you try one, though, there’s no going back. I’ve been a big fan of ultrawide gaming monitors for years now, mostly because supported PC games just look fantastic on them. And that’s why I’ve put together this list of the best ultrawide games on PC – to show you exactly what they look like in the flesh, complete with GIFs and photos of t
The best rhythm games on PC 2023
2020-07-28 09:55 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com
Looking for the best rhythm games on PC? There are few things in life better than music, so obviously there are even fewer things in life better than music and rhythm games. Music evokes more emotional responses than any other and usually does so within a few short minutes. Games can make us feel things over time, but music is often much more immediate. With that in mind, we've put together a list of the best rhythm games around, that are guaranteed to stay with you long after the last note plays. From 2D indie games with a solid beat to lightsaber-wielding VR games, our list of the best rhyth
Thumper Maintenance Update (Keyboard Remap Hang)

Try Google Stadia for free with nine games in a new trial
2020-04-09 11:47 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Imogen Beckhelling)
Google have now made their cloud gaming service, Stadia, completely free to anyone who has a Gmail account. That means you no longer have to buy their pricey Premiere Edition to get started, all you have to do is sign up online. On top of that, to help keep people entertained in isolation they’ve made their premium subscription service, Stadia Pro, free for two months. It’s basically a free trial that gives you full access to nine games, which sounds like a pretty good deal to me. (more…)
Thumper Maintenance Update (VR issues)
2020-02-15 06:07 UTC · Community Announcements · Marc Flury
The latest update fixes a few issues related to VR mode (both Steam VR and Oculus) Fixed re-centering VR position and orientation (hold ESC key OR start/pause button) Fixed pausing via keyboard (ESC key) in VR mode Playing in VR mode no longer requires the Thumper desktop window to be focused. This was causing issues where the game appeared to hang when launching into VR mode.
Thumper Maintenance Update (DX9 Graphics Issues)
2020-01-31 02:35 UTC · Community Announcements · Marc Flury
The latest update fixes minor visual issues with the "DX9 Legacy" version of the game. The other (DX11) versions are not affected.

Have You Played Thumper?
2020-01-17 07:30 UTC · Rock, Paper, Shotgun · contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Matt Cox)
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Thumper leaves no room for anything but itself. It floods from your eyes to your ears to your brainstem, dissolving conscious experience into grinds and jumps and failure. The rhythm won’t release you. You’ll have to earn your freedom. (more…)
