Taco Tom 2 has (finally) been updated to v1.2.1 on Itch! This update adds all of the new features from the console versions of the game, including a Visual Novel mode, Random bonus mode, and more. If you're wondering why this build is v1.2.1 and not v1.2.0, that's because it also adds an alternate character art pack, available in the Options menu!
