The key updates from this large-scale refactoring are as follows:

💥New Content:

  • Inverter floor tiles have been replaced with Inverter Pressure Plates (yellow = on, red = off).

  • Visual optimization of Signal Lines to enhance dynamic prompt effects.

  • Optimized the color and animation of the prompt dashed lines on obscured Pressure Plates, making it easier for players to locate Pressure Plates hidden by obstacles.

  • Completed refactoring of underlying code, significantly reducing bugs in complex levels involving Polymers, Portals, etc. (If you encounter any, please give feedback to Mat-Rix’s Discord).

  • Completed localization proofreading for the Japanese version.

💦Level Adjustments:

  • Removed some levels that were inconsistent with the mechanics of preceding and following levels and had jarring difficulty jumps, including: 1-13, 1-38, 1-40, etc.

  • Fixed unintended solutions for some levels, including: 1-18, 3-45, C-07, 4-36, E-05, E-16, etc.

  • Redesigned levels A-05, A-06, and B-04 while preserving their core reasoning logic.

  • Optimized the reasoning experience of numerous levels by making some incorrect solutions more obvious, including: 1-9, 2-47, C-05, D-05, 4-37, 5-24, 5-25, 5-29, 5-33, and 5-35, etc.

  • Adjusted the positions of portals around level 3-65 in the chapter 3 level selection map.

  • Added 1 new side level at the end of the C-07 level sequence.

💢Bugfixes & Optimizations:

  • The game now correctly handles multi-polymer consumption issues when passing through portals under specific circumstances.

  • Fixed the error where players couldn’t move when a pair of portals were in adjacent corners.

  • Fixed some polymer breakage errors in complex structures.

  • Fixed the issue where the game incorrectly played a death animation if the player was in a pit after undoing an action.

  • Fixed undo errors involving multi-polymer consumption that affects structures.

  • Fixed the breakage error when boxes are stuck on inactive portals.

  • Fixed the error where wires turn green after pressure plates connected to NOT gates are destroyed.

  • Fixed logic errors in complex scenarios involving portals, multi-polymer consumption, and polymer breakage.

  • Fixed the issue where "self-sticking" was incorrectly triggered.

  • Fixed the error where pushing boxes triggers polymer consumption when portals and multiple polymers are adjacent.

  • Fixed the error where linked structures are incorrectly destroyed when walls push players and box-sticking structures.

  • Fixed polymer breakage logic errors when complex structures move due to multi-polymer consumption.

  • Fixed polymer breakage logic errors when players stick to complex structures and move toward walls.

  • Fixed logic errors when players stick to complex structures and move toward adjacent corner portals.

  • Fixed logic errors when structures move toward portals due to multi-polymer consumption.

  • Fixed incorrect polymer structure breakage when boxes are crushed.

  • Fixed the error where players overlap with walls if players and boxes are not pushed correctly during the same wall movement.

  • Fixed the missing sound effect when walls are blocked by anchor boxes.
