GOG Offline Installer (10.06.2022 20:00 CET):
   o Lin:   1.0.1 (56435)
   o Win: 1.0.1 (56433) [incl. additional 32 Bit Installer]
#
# JMB (some further info and two notes):
# The game engine is Unity 2022.1.1f1 (pure 64 Bit)
# And just tested a few minutes but it runs under GNU/Linux on AMD Radeon with open source drivers (see below) ... ;)
#
# Note about wrong warning:
#   When purchasing that game for GNU/Linux, a wrong warning is given that
#   this game would not be compatible with Linux - which can be ignored (see screenshot).
#   Just the normal lack of care of GOG for Linux and those customers ...
#
# Note about wrong requirements statement:
#   Only Open Source drivers are developed to be part of GNU/Linux, the Linux driver for HW and
#   the Mesa part for supporting OpenGL, Vulkan etc.
#   So for Intel there are only open source drivers, AMD open source Mesa drivers are faster (e.g. RADV),
#   and more compatible ... so the given warning is just not valid in this universe. ;)
#   Nvidia drivers automatically invokes tainted flag, as Linux can not be supported with
#   closed source drivers. As they released open source drivers shortly, this may change in future
#   when/if Nvidias drivers will enter mainline - or at least staging - while no Mesa part
#   was announced yet - which may be provided by Red Hat and other open source developers
#   (see NVK).

   o By accident, high quality setting had increased resolution scaling. This was changed back to a scale of 1.
      Your performance should increase... a lot.
   o Vsync enabled (may add a toggle button on a later patch)

Patch Notes for 1.0.6
Posted: Mon, June 13, 2022 @ 8:05 AM CEST
Type: Small Update / Patch Notes

   o Changed level selector icon, should be clearer what it is.
   o Level unlock popup (+1, +2 puzzles) will make the level selector button blink more, so players will notice it more.
   o Default hotkey for hints is now F (H also works) instead of TAB, so the game will not give a hint
      when ALT+TAB'bing on Steam. Hint popup will appear once with the new keybind for existing players
      to inform you of the change.
   o Level selector tutorial popup will appear even if you don't use hints. New players will see it at level 4 and
      existing players will see it once on the start of a level, if they never seen the popup yet.
   o Reminder popups for using hints and for level skips are shorter, will appear after a longer time and
      will stop appearing after seeing them 3 times each.
   o Lowered hint cooldown.
   o Made one of the starting level easier. I will add more easy levels in the first content update.

Patch Notes for 1.1.0: Difficulty Update
Type: Small Update / Patch Notes
Posted: Tue, June 14, 2022 @ 10:22 AM CEST

   o 10 new easy levels for beginner players that explain the game mechanics better.
      Trivial for puzzle enjoyers, but very needed for casual players. Now there are 160 levels in total.
   o Simplified a few starting levels based on observations of how players play them on Twitch and YouTube.
      Don't worry, hard puzzles remain untouched.
   o Changed the level order a lot, there are more easier levels first and the harder one got pushed to the later stage
      of the game. This doesn't change the overall difficulty of them game, just eases the player into it better.
      Levels from 1 to 60 should be more approachable now.
   o Fixed minor visual error in one of the level switch animation
   o Removed decorations on a few levels that obstructed the view too much
   o Fixed bug, where the game wouldn't switch to skipped levels after finishing the last level
   o Fixed bug, where the interface would hide too late in the level switch animation

Please consider leaving a review for the game, either negative or positive. This help with the game discoverability.
Cheers!

Patch Notes for 1.1.1
Type: Small Update / Patch Notes
Posted: Wed, June 15, 2022 @ 12:59 PM CEST

   o Resolution slider now filters out small resolutions (less than 1024px width).
   o Added an option to disable hints. The tutorial on the 3rd level will still force you to use one hint,
      button will still be visible, but disabled and a padlock icon will be displayed on it.
   o Ads on billboards will now change every 2 minutes. I will add more of them in the future, currently there are 3.
   o Version number is now displayed in the options.

Patch Notes for 1.1.2
Posted: Thu, June 16, 2022 @ 11:20 AM CEST
Type: Small Update / Patch Notes

   o Added a black grid to the tiles that improves map readability. By default it's subtle,
      but you can adjust its power in the options to make it really strong or disable it completely.
   o Resolution slider now filters out too big resolutions (bigger than your system resolution).

Patch Notes for 1.1.5
Type: Small Update / Patch Notes
Posted: Fri, June 17, 2022 @ 3:00 PM CEST

   o The more levels you complete, the more levels you can skip ahead.
   o Starting tutorials now have a very clear progress indicator. Some people got confused and stuck for a few moments,
      because they didn't use WASD/Left gamepad stick for long enough.
   o A new popup tutorial will show the first time you use the Rotation Tool if you are using Mouse+Keyboard controls.
   o Removed some decoration on levels 11 and 20, that obstructed the view too much.
   o Level 6 was moved to position 9 (nice).

Patch Notes for 1.1.6
Type: Small Update / Patch Notes
Posted: Sun, June 19, 2022 @ 6:08 PM CEST

   o Exit to desktop button moved to a separate panel, has a red highlight and requires a confirmation to exit the game.
   o A new popup will appear, that teaches you how to reset the current tool the first time you use the Copy Tool.
      Some players, even at 30+ levels didn't know, that they can right-click or press the east gamepad button for this.
      This will also appear for existing players, because I can't confirm if you already know about this
      (I didn't track resets before update).
   o You can now open the options menu at the very beginning of the game (before intro credits) and in the tutorial at level 1.
   o Fixed minor issue with keyboard/gamepad navigation in options.

Patch Notes for 1.1.7
Type: Small Update / Patch Notes
Posted: Sun, June 19, 2022 @ 8:07 PM CEST

   o Implemented a possible workaround for a bug, where on a very rare occasion you wouldn't be able to use
      the current tool until you open and close the options menu when playing on a gamepad. This simple bug has
      been haunting me for a long time. Only saw it on Twitch streams a few times, and today I saw it again.
   o Fixed an issue, where the readability grid would be rendered over the tool indicators.

# JMB: Currently, the last two updates were not present on GOG Offline Installer 20.06. 18:20 CET ... still at 1.1.5.
#           Great support for this beautiful game!:
# Note by Dev on 23.07.2022:
#    GOG version will match latest version probably tomorrow; delay is due to a small issue with GOG version building.
