Akatori Patch v1.0.04 Adds Gamepad Rebinding and Aerial Tweaks

Akatori v1.0.04 improves mid-air movement, adds gamepad button rebinding, and resolves major progression blocks tied to boss arenas and death states.

Akatori patch v1.0.04 introduces full gamepad button rebinding alongside tightened aerial controls. The update targets progression locks around boss arenas and cleans up various audio and visual errors.

Controls and Movement

Gamepad players can now remap buttons to preference. Mako's aerial inertia has been reduced to grant sharper mid-air maneuverability, and a new wall clinging tutorial has been added to the Amber Castle area alongside new air currents designed to ease travel back to the Amber Forest.

Progression and Bosses

A progression lock where the exit from mini-boss Major Major's arena failed to open if the player died between the kill and picking up the key is now fixed. The Amber Castle altar on the path to the detonator has been shifted for more comfortable pacing, and the Serpent boss fight features clearer visual indicators for its kill box during chases.

Bug Fixes and UI

The update resolves multiple issues, including save slot difficulty retention, audio bugs tied to Alt-Tab behavior during death screens, and the credits screen 'Next' button skipping the sequence entirely. Simplified and Traditional Chinese fonts have been updated for readability, and level art gaps have been patched across all locations.

Why this patch matters

Patch v1.0.04 delivers practical structural fixes that make Akatori's platforming and progression much more reliable.
