Version 1.07 on disc. This is equivalent to the patches and content updates of the PC release up into December 2023.

Languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese

- The screen always flickers upon entering the first level of each run.

- Axolotl hatchlings sit on top of each other in their paddocks, which, whenever you want to pet/nurture them, causes you to overlook some of them occasionally.

- When positioning the Axolotls near the crystal to absorb their energy, the cursor sometimes gets stuck on the crystal's "absorb" option. Then you can't put the Axolotls down near the crystal. You have to move away and re-approach the area for the lock to stop.

- During runs, chests with diamonds in them sometimes contain the option to choose from three perk/item cards, sometimes they only contain crystals. It is unclear if this is by design or a glitch.

- When using the "Cowpup" weapon (the Famas looking one), sometimes pressing the trigger button doesn't fire the gun.

- The drop chance of legendary weapons seems to be set to a way too low value. While legendary perks drop at least every other run, we only found legendary weapons less than a handful of times in over 20 hours of playtime after unlocking them.

- When you acquire a certain weapon, the chance to drop it again is greatly increased, though. We unlocked a rare weapon, and whenever we found it in a run, every boss would then spawn the same weapon from its chest after defeat.

- When entering a secret room, you can easily take damage before you even regain control, because the enemies are already attacking while the screen is still fading back from black for the first 1-2 seconds after entering the room. This leaves you without any chance to react to what's happening.

The game generally runs well framerate-wise.
No major issues observed.
