Pinch and Roll Improvements
2026-09-11 13:01 UTC · Community Announcements · Tim
A small patch to improve Pinch and Roll to avoid accidental scratching. The How to Play menu is now included in the escape menu in-game.
Your balls itch. You are in public. This is now everybody’s problem. Covertly scratch your balls through multiple public incidents, battle your useless hand, and stop before everyone finds out what kind of person you are.

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.
