| BET 0.13.4 | 2026-03-25 | Hi guys! The team has been hard at work on new levels (targeting a late May release), but until then, we wanted to give you some new features and improvements we have implemented since December. One of the biggest features we've been working on is dedicated modding support! It will be starting off in a closed alpha initially, so please apply in our Discord if you have experience modding and are interested.

| BET 0.13.1 | 2025-11-08 | Hi All! The team and I are back with another update, brining a brand new way of navigating levels to BET. Players can now freely go from Level 0 to -1 and then choose to go back to Level 0 (0.11). The same goes for Level 1. We want branching paths to add to the gameplay and feel that allowing backtracking makes the world feel much larger- less a series of levels and more a journey where you decide what you want to explore. This update also includes a lot of tweaks and improvements to Level -1. We've been collecting a ton of feedback related to the level, so with these changes it should feel much more fun and fair.General Changes:Added Ability |
