Short version: 2.209 adds platformer checkpoints/saving, custom keybinds, death markers, editor sound packs, level import/export and social upgrades. Great for creators — but it temporarily broke Geode and most mods.

Gameplay changes

Platformer saving

Platformer-mode levels now save progress — long maps no longer demand one sitting.

Custom keybinds

Remap controls freely, including separate platformer controls.

Death tracking

The game records where you die and can show death markers on the level path — practice feedback built in.

Replay dailies

Daily, weekly and event levels can be replayed for rewards instead of being one-and-done.

Start Pos switcher

Swap between placed start positions without re-entering the editor.

Editor changes

Sound effects & packs

Editor SFX support plus sound packs — levels can ship custom audio design.

Import / export levels

Move editor levels between devices or share them as files.

Auto-save & backup

Editor progress saves itself — crash losses mostly gone.

Group ID names

Name your group IDs instead of memorizing numbers — huge for complex levels.

Editor UI overhaul

Improved layout, better SFX browser, pinch controls.

Social & account changes

  1. 1
    Better friends & following

    Improved following/friends lists and management.

  2. 2
    Notifications & messaging

    New notification system, direct messaging and emotes in-game.

  3. 3
    News tab

    In-game news feed for updates and community events.

  4. 4
    Options & navigation

    Settings reorganized with navigation improvements plus the usual pile of bug fixes.

Mod players: 2.209 broke Geode and dependent mods on release — the loader needed an update to catch up. Status and workarounds: our Geode + 2.209 status page.
