World of Goo 2 from 2D BOY / Tomorrow Corporation has a small update that's been released, cleaning up some issues reported by players and making it run better on Steam Deck. The game came to Steam and other stores on April 25th and it's really great.

The May update for the game highlights:

Offline mode.

Sound initialization.

Steamdeck fixes.

Error display.

Turns out, the game wouldn't work if you had Steam set to offline mode. Now it will. Just a nice little fix for players on handhelds.
