Paperhead Patch v50 Introduces Fire Extinguishing and Sewer Fixes

Paperhead patch v50 fixes a progression-blocking soft lock in the sewer level, adds fire extinguishing mechanics, and makes mouse scroll wheels rebindable.

Paperhead version 50 is available now, delivering bug fixes for level progression, user interface adjustments, and new survival mode tracks.

Progression and Level Fixes

A soft lock on level 11 (the sewer) that trapped players permanently upon dying in the toxic goo is fixed. Lore counting errors across a few levels are resolved, and pencil sharpeners check for usability differently.

Survival and Quality of Life

Players on fire can extinguish themselves by healing or using a serum, allowing Super Bandage Boy to survive in fire for three seconds. More music tracks are added to survival mode. The golden buddy character costs 50 gold coins and 5,000 normal coins. UI issues across different resolutions are corrected, low-resolution icons are fixed, and mouse scroll wheels can be rebinded.

Why this patch matters

Patch v50 resolves progression blockers and adds helpful quality-of-life options like scroll wheel rebinding and fire management.
