No, this is not an April Fool! It's really here! You can now use the tab key when mapping keyboard controls!

(And some other things too)

Version 4.2 - April 1, 2022

• Stage timer is now off by default and can be re-activated in the options menu.
  
• Removed ban on 'tab' as a mappable key.
  
• Fixed point in Mt Afrokupa where it was easy to accidentally backtrack and get stuck in a previous point in the stage.

Khimera: Puzzle Island is a nonogram spin-off that sees Chelshia and Amelia travelling to a new island in search of ancient tablets.

Today some minor updates to a few stages and some big changes to the Pumpkin King to make him a little bit more manageable. If the pumpkin heads are giving you a bit too much trouble, you can now defeat them for some food mid-fight!

Level design changes are primarily to aide in guiding players towards the goal in some areas where the secret route might have been a bit too obvious.

Version 4.1 - February 22, 2020

• Added a visual indicator for kill planes in stages.
• The Pumpkin King has seen some revisions:
• The Pumpkin King can no longer turn around while charging his fire attack.
• False Pumpkins can now be defeated with a combination of the harpy boost and the mermaid anchor. They have 8HP (3 hits).
• Pumpkins will drop food on defeat, offering a slower, but safer method to fighting the Pumpkin King.
• Pumpkins hover about 8 pixels lower.
• Pumpkin fire rate rounded up to 4 seconds between shots.
• Pumpkins now synchronize their shots and will always fire about half a second apart rather than it being dependant on when the pumpkins spawn.
• Changed backdrop tiles for Mt Afrokupa.
• Changed how you access Mt Afrokupa TNT switch. In its previous format, it was too easy to mistake for the correct route, leading to confusion.
• minor level modifications.

At the request of King Captain, one of the Khimera speedrunners, I've added a no-hit medal that will overwrite the no-death medal if you can complete a stage without getting hit!

Honestly that sounds stupid hard so I'm not going to do it but you can if you like!

Version 4.0 - October 10, 2019

• Added no-hit medal for clearing stages without taking a hit!
  • Does not contribute to 100%!
  • Obtained for completing the entire stage from start to finish without taking a hit.
  • Replaces no-death medal on map screen.
  • Cannot be obtained with berserk mode active.

It's the 391st Khimera! This update fixes a few bugs and refines the changes introduced in 3.9!

Version 3.9.1 - July 29, 2019

• Fixed bug introduced in 3.9 causing dash to let Chelshia phase through enemies.
• Reduced input buffers from 10 frames to 3.
• Reversed some level modifications.

Today we have a slew of QoL updates to Chelshia's movement including an input buffering method so she won't drop inputs as often. Also a new checkpoint in Mechanical Mayhem (something suggested for like a year oops)


Version 3.9 - July 28, 2019

• Fixed broken background in race results screen.
• Fixed objects not properly spawning in the center of breakable objects.
• Fixed being able to climb up into the quiz room from the previous room's ceiling, softlocking the game.
• Costume choice in race mode now saves, costume will be automatically equipped every time you enter race mode.
• Attacking & Jumping now have 10-frame buffers. Pressing a button while Chelshia is currently inactive or otherwise too busy to respond will result in an up to 10 frame grace period where the action can take place once she is free again (instead of just dropping the input).
• Saucy Shot changes:
• Releasing punch no longer resets charge, but instead decrements charge level.
• 15 frame buffer added where the button can be released while immobilized and still have it fire once able.
• Harpie Boost is no longer interrupted by enemies.
• This does not extend to falling spikes, giant cannonballs or track spikes.
• Added 3rd checkpoint to Mechanical Mayhem between crusher segment and the rising spikes.
• Minor level modifications.
