A slew of bug fixes and tweaks to make the game more presentable. Most notably: - Fixed the resolution settings not saving when changed - Lessened the much-maligned pixilation effect during gameplay - Reworked the 'Gem Pouch' item to be less buggy - Added several new items to Act 2 to allow for new strategies - Improved the game's soundtrack - Fixed a soft-lock in the tutorial (an important key could fall through the ground) - Act select (post-game) now fully resets the level (but not inventory) - Probably some other stuff I can't remember at the moment. Go poke around and see for yourself :)
Adjustments have been made to items such as pickled sauce, pickled chicken feet, golden egg, fairy pig, etc., and a new level 6 item, puppet silk, has been added. See the in-game item collections for details
Changes include: ・Fixed an issue where the BGM sometimes doesn't play ・Added sound effects for the experience gauge in the results screen ・Fixed a bug where the sauna gauge wasn't displayed

Balance Changes
