Shadow Labyrinth version 1.1.0 update announced

Save and travel improvements, Mini-PUCK, and difficulty adjustments.

Bandai Namco has announced the version 1.1.0 update for PAC-MAN-based 2D action platformer Shadow Labyrinth, which includes save and travel improvements, Mini-PUCK play control improvements, and difficulty selection and adjustments. A release date was not announced.

Here is a message from the development team on the update:

First and foremost, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who played this game. Each and every one of your opinions is our greatest asset and the driving force propelling us forward.
Reflections
We developed Shadow Labyrinth aiming for a unique experience: “Wandering the labyrinth, devouring, and evolving.”
We sincerely acknowledge the many evaluations of the game we’ve received, along with the numerous opinions shared by our players.

Particularly:
Inconvenience of saving / traveling
Mini-PUCK play control in MAZE sections
High difficulty
These were challenges felt by many players, and we strongly feel they are points the development team must sincerely address.
Purpose of the Version Update
The upcoming version update is not merely a bug fix or adjustment. Its purpose is to redesign the play experience and evolve Shadow Labyrinth into a game that more people can enjoy.
A flexible system allowing players to choose difficulty levels, and improved immersion through comfortable controls and appropriately placed checkpoints.
We will build the next update around those core elements. We hope you look forward to the updated version of Shadow Labyrinth.
Sincerely,
Producer Aizawa
