Secrets Of The World:
We've scrambled all of the secrets together, see if you can beat all of them in one go.

Pumpkin Hunt:
After beating the game in any save file, you can attempt to find all of the hidden pumpkins in each level. This will unlock some Halloween themed outfits and a mysterious pumpkin door on the first floor...

Steam Community items:
Trading cards, Badges, Emoticons and Profile backgrounds are now available!

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you get a crash at the beginning of the game (or when pausing the game, or rebinding the controls), go to your local files, remove the english.txt file under the lang folder, and then verify the files on Steam.

If the crashing persists, delete everything from your installation folder and verify the files on Steam. To verify the files, right click the game, go to "Properties", then "Installed Files" and click the button that says "Verify integrity of game files".

If even then, it still persists, make sure you uninstall any kind of custom languages, basically delete everything that isn't the english.txt file in the lang folder.

If you've played any kind of mod, you will most likely encounter this issue, so you will have to go through this. We have no idea of knowing if a mod modified anything other then the data.win file or the lang folder, so the safest bet is to delete everything and redownload it. Simply uninstalling won't work, you have to verify the files. Deleting the local files doesn't affect saves because they're stored elsewhere. Additionally, verifying files on Steam doesn't always work so you might have to do this multiple times until it sticks.
