Don't mind me - just doing a little bit of preliminary maintenance here before the big stuff shows up. Notable Changes:

• UI Fixes - Back Button on the Main Menu now shows the controller button. Not sure how we missed that one. - Steam Deck should size stuff like the Cookie Jar setup menu correctly now
• Performance Tweaks - Stage Loading should no longer lag, and be significantly faster on most machines - Main Menu especially should run consistently faster now, especially on Steam Deck - The initial game load will last a little bit longer now. We're working on getting that back down, but had to make a temporary tradeoff to get the rest of the game running more smoothly.

Last chance to explicitly purchase specific in-game cosmetics with the Hearts earned on stages, for real this time. The next update is adding a lot of cosmetics, but switches over to a different in-game currency system and makes the unlocks mostly luck-dependent, You'll keep all your existing cosmetics, and be retroactively awarded Dough for your best stage times with no penalty on any Hearts spent, so might as well go nuts and nab what you want now.

The hazy days of Summer are soon upon us, and that means picnics. And picnics, means bees. And bees, means honey. And you keep honey in jars. See where we're going with this? Probably not.

Cookie Jar Mode get an Upgrade

A total of 10 individual Cookie Jar stages are now available! Merge the balls together for the ever-elusive king-sized snack in a variety of somewhat inconveniently-shaped-for-storage jars. Also, some of them might be a little sticky with honey. But the hearts earned here can be spent on cosmetics just like the ones in the Main Course mode, so aim for that high score! Please note that a total of 10 recipes need to be cleared in the Main Course mode before Cookie Jar mode is unlocked. I mean, you've gotta bake 'em first. You can't stick Nothing in a cookie jar.

Get to New Stuff Faster

That extra three seconds of having to sit through the stage setup animation twice if you beat a stage and then just wanted to immediately move on to a different one was kind of annoying. So instead of giving up and finally making a normal results screen, we opted for a quick menu that pops up for those brief seconds that you can use to pick if you want to advance or retry. If the next stage hasn't been cleared, it'll default to moving on instead of retrying, but you can change it with a quick button press. There's still no penalty for failing or changing stage normally though, but now you can keep riding that flow just a little bit more efficiently.

Other Changes

• The UI buttons now show for Keyboard and dynamically change when controllers change
• A new Hairstyle and Hat to celebrate... bees, I guess.
• Additional tweaks to reduce level loading times when playing all of them in a suite.
• Lots of internal stuff getting cleaned up to help with future content.

As usual, if you happen to find any bugs (except for the bees) please let us know. We'll squash them for you right quick. See you guys next month.

Hola golosos, Feliz Cinco de Mayo! What, you were expecting Mother's Day stuff instead? Notable Changes:

• 5 new Especiales de Mayo
• Sombrero. A kind-of-fancy one at that.
• Adjustments to Save Data format for some upcoming stuff - The migration should be seamless and automatic, but please let us know if you hit any issues.

Eso es todo. With that, see you next week.

Greetings, Gourmands. This week's levels are now hot and ready. Come and get 'em. Notable Changes:

• The Level Select in-game now shows individual times and hearts earned
• 5 new Cordial Levels
• PlayStation 4 and 5 controllers now change colors based on the background. Neat.
• Significant re-organization for Menu systems under the hood - This should slightly improve memory consumption for the Main Menu
• Potential crash fixed when you have more than 4 controllers plugged in

Another reminder that in the next major update in May, the cosmetics shop is going to change to switch to a capsule machine system, so the number of cosmetics is going to increase dramatically, but it will not be possible to directly pick which outfit you want. You will be granted the full amount of game currency that you would have earned over playing the game at the time of the switch, with nothing deducted from any of the purchases made with the current heart system, so we suggest grabbing the items that you specifically want now before the switchover occurs.

Greetings, Gourmands. In the excitement of the Steam Deck release last week, we seem to have forgotten to put out our Easter Specials. Have no fear, as you are now free to overdose on virtual chocolate and jelly beans. Or at least one shiny foil egg. Notable Changes:

• Various internal tweaks and fixes - Switching between Touch/Mouse and Controller modes should work more consistently - The advice given on the Recipe Complete screen should change according to progress now
• 5 new Easter holiday levels, with a particularly difficult one at the tail end
• Some rather tacky bunny ears

We'll also take this time to give a heads-up that the cosmetic shop will be changing in the next update to better facilitate a larger number of items. Anything that you buy now with the current system WILL remain unlocked, however. If you have something in particular you know you absolutely want to get now, you may want to spend the hearts to grab it before the next update sometime in May.

Greetings, Gourmands. We've been toiling away in the kitchen, and have our first serving of updates hot and ready on the way. Notable additions:

• New seasonal St. Patrick Specials - Rum Ball courses
• Full Game Controller Support - Includes Gyro support for PlayStation and Nintendo Switch Pro controllers - Includes Touch Bar support for PlayStation controllers
• Fixed Cloud Saves not working correctly for certain account IDs - If you have played on multiple devices, the progress should automatically merge. You may need to re-equip cosmetics, however.

If you want a peek behind the scenes, be sure to visit our development blog on tumblr for weekly Friday updates on upcoming features, as well as some general development ramblings. Next order: Steam Deck version. See you then! Hopefully very soon.

Welcome everyone, to the grand opening of Crescent Roll! We hope it's as fun to play as it was making it. We've got something of an early bird special going right now as the kitchen kicks fully into gear. Of course, a full menu is already available. However, expect some additional entrees to be added in the coming weeks as we learn the ropes, as well as a few things that needed just a little bit more time in the oven, like controller support, additional screen resolutions, and a native Steam Deck version. So, take up a seat, and dig in! Bon Apptit!
