Optimized the matching, fish and mice, and cups minigames, reducing drawing overhead when opening them and during play.
Fixed highlighting in options dropdowns: it now starts on the selected option, follows the pointer without jumping between rows, and returns to the selection when the pointer leaves the list.
Adjusted the large cat plushie behind the counter and the mineral plushie to prevent the player from getting stuck.
Added “TP to shop center” under Options > General to return to a safe spot if you get stuck.
Improved the automatic shelf placement throw ability: any plushie can now be placed on a shelf with space within 1 meter, even if it is empty or contains other types. Shelves already holding the same type take priority. Plushies move smoothly into place over 0.3 seconds instead of teleporting. Also fixed slot detection on several displays where the ability did not work correctly.
You can now jump while crouching. You can no longer start crouching during a jump. Fixed an issue that made the character stand up when moving over plushies while crouched.
Added a tutorial when you unlock the litter box: a prompt guides you to its upgrade menu, and a yellow outline highlights it until you open it for the first time.
