Upon its initial release, the Switch version of The Plucky Squire faced criticism regarding performance. Players reported frame rate dips, particularly during the transition between the 2D and 3D worlds, and occasional texture pop-ins.
The most notorious issue at launch was a minor frame hitch every time the game transitioned from the 2D book world (Bob the Plucky Squire's home) to the 3D desk environment. Update v1.0.4 smooths out this transition. The game now pre-loads desk assets during the final page of the book, reducing the stutter by roughly 40%.

The base version had calibration drift issues. The 1.0.4 update introduces a dead-zone calibration tool and recalibrates the sensitivity curve, making the motion puzzles actually fun rather than frustrating.

Iron Squire Mode: For those seeking the ultimate trial, this "permadeath" mode grants Jot only one life. If he falls, his save file is deleted, and the story truly ends. Streamlining the Adventure
For players who prefer a snappier tempo, the update also brought Streamlined Mode. This version of the tale trims dialogue and removes repetitive camera pans, such as those that pause the action just to show a door opening.
