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.

Hi, I've updated the game trying to fix some of the key issues people had with the game, like not being able to change gamepad keys or some frustrating gameplay elements. The changes include - You now have a new menu option to define your gamepad controls. Fixed the bug where you would stop moving with the moving platforms when attacking. Fixed the issue with people not being able to correctly grip the vines. Tweaked the mammoth boss fight, to make it more forgiving. Tweaked some cheap enemy placement and removed the worms in forest stages completely. Changed the way the acid balls pop out of
