Steam Achievement Status
A public Steam achievement list is not available yet. The developer has said the next main goal is a Steam port, and a comment on the itch page mentions custom Steam achievements as a possible part of the port. Until the Steam page is live, this section tracks status only and does not list achievements as confirmed.
Highest Day Reached
Highest Day Reached is now tracked in v1.1.2 and can be viewed from the main menu. Runs from v1.1.1 are not included because the tracking feature did not exist in that version.
