An update of Abysm - The Pale Queen, is now available for download.

The headline features for this release are a couple of new accessibility options in the settings menu, both aimed at providing a better and less frustrating on-ramp for less experienced players:

• There is now a game speed setting, which should improve ease of control, as well as make puzzles with a timing component less daunting.
• There is also a new option to control the radius of the player light source, providing the ability to see more of the puzzle for people who prefer that, at the cost of some atmosphere.

Based on user feedback a number of other changes have also been made:

• A number of levels have been modified to decrease the need for precise timing early in the game
• A couple of levels have also been modified to reduced the number of instances of multi-stage challenges early in the game
• Based on these changes the levels have been rearranged to provide a suitable learning curve
• One level, Throng, has been pushed back to the next episode
• A new early level, Samla, has been added 

Game saves are backwards compatible: finished levels will stay finished even if reordered, and new levels will be available based on whether the player has completed the previous level.

Please enjoy! And remember, feedback is very much appreciated!

Addendum: A bug related to game speed was fixed and the release was replaced a few hours after the original release.
