Warning: A lot of features are missing/broken in remaster!

[artzpiip]

Missing/broken features:

[EDITED]

1. Some versus game modes are missing (e.g. amber collection).
2. Level end screens where you can see how throughoutly you collected stuff are missing.
3. Level editor/custom levels are missing.
4. Some warp zone level details (such as lack of sound effects in Pitfall level or lack of amber in blocks Super Mario level) are missing.
5. Multiple save slots are missing.
6. Some options are missing
7. Collection game levels are missing
8. Sticky+slick state combination does not work.
9. Some sound effects (such as ropes and chains breaking) are missing.
10. A time trial secret level accessed via one of the Egypt levels is missing.
11. Level select screen is missing.
12. Scoring system is altered. Combo system is removed. You also don't get points for breaking blocks. (although I can see how the last feature is useless). Despite that, you can get infinite score in boss levels.
13. Achievements are not working.
14. Blood particles also missing.
15. Telekinesis mode is missing.
16. Small Gish mode is missing.
17. Camera is worse. Don't press F12!

And more.

So what happened?

[galneon]

A lazy outside-contracted "remaster" focused on easy portability? It would be a shame if the original developer were responsible.

Edit: Can anyone tell me if the Humble DRM-free version is the same as the final Chronic Logic version (i.e. the last good version of the game before the original broken Steam version was released)?

Thumb Sticks on the joystick dont work, only the directional keys, any way to fix that?

Keep the first post up to date if possible, easier to keep track of. Also I dunno why the quoted message in my post is so narrow o_o

11. Level select screen.
12. Scoring system is altered. Combo system is removed. You also don't get points for breaking blocks. (although I can see how the last feature is useless)

This is an important question — does Gish on Humble still show the version 2011-11-10 as stated in this thread? And what exactly is the last reasonable version number?

I just redownloaded it from Humble and it's version 1.6.1 "Turbo Edition", timestamped 2011/11/9 (I'm not GMT, so there's the difference). I also have gish1531.zip from my original download of it from the very first Humble Bundle, though it's on an offline drive I'd have to spin up to check. I am guessing 1.6.1 is definitive.

The variety of the removed features and content is really surprising. The game seems to have been chipped away at from all sides. It's not an accident and most of this stuff won't be coming back, possibly none of it. I've moved Gish into my "Obsolete" Steam category.

they added already available levels before and called them "lost levels". Custom levels menu already had those levels and a lot of another levels:(

Hard not to lose a bit of respect for Edmund after reading that. It's mobile dev logic and I really didn't think he was responsible for this massacre.
