Reduce Motion now softens shakes, glitches, transitions, ambient movement, pulses, and rapid flashing without changing gameplay timing or hiding important feedback.

Tracefield routes are easier to follow, and mistakes across minigames now use the same clear feedback as maze resets. This update also fixes off-route movement in Tracefield and Ghost Path.

Added

  • Added a Reduce Motion option that softens shake, glitches, transitions, ambient movement, pulses, and rapid flashing while keeping clear visual feedback and the same gameplay timing.

Changed

  • Made Tracefield's visited route clearer by dropping and dissolving departed tiles into hollow outlines.
  • Minigame mistakes now use the same target marker, shake, glitch, sound, music, and controller feedback as maze resets.

Fixed

  • Made Tracefield reset its route when movement leaves the field, matching its instructions.
  • Prevented off-route Ghost Path moves from jumping the player marker to the goal without completing the challenge.
