Intro
With this update, and most likely the next one as well, everything focuses on optimizing the game flow and eliminating every rough edge that could become annoying. In this context, I would like to thank all testers who notified me whenever they started streaming. Alongside your constructive feedback, this allowed me to follow your gameplay and clearly see exactly where improvements were needed.
