Repeated intro
Hello everyone, you may have noticed that there have been a couple of updates released on Steam within the past month: v3.1.0 and v3.1.4. These updates are focused on fixing bugs introduced from the Seeing Stars patch that were causing some friction or inconsistencies. We still have more to look at (there always is), but this covers a good chunk.

A Little to the Left changes
Patch Notes:
v3.1.0
Fixed an issue where clicking on objects in the DLC2 Boss while the drawer was closing would cause the Gems phase to be skipped, going straight to the next objects puzzle phase, leading to a blocker state where the level would not trigger completion upon solving all three objects puzzle phases
Picked up Gems in the DLC2 Boss will no longer appear behind other Gems
The Heart Robot in DLC2 Robots level could have Hearts placed down near its knees if the Robot had not first had its state changed, now Hearts can only be placed in the open chest cavity.
Hearts container for Heart Robot in DLC2 Robots level can no longer become misaligned if the Robot was moved partially offscreen while the chest cavity was open.
Objects are now unable to be picked up while a drawer is transitioning state. This behaviour could lead to a condition where objects could become stuck in a partially non-interactive state and unable detect targets.
Objects can no longer be pulled out of a closed drawer if very close to the edge (such as in the DLC2 Materials Drawer level), which could lead to objects becoming lost out of play.
When holding an object, drawer in DLC2 Combs level now only automatically opens on handle hover
Selecting the “Play” button on the Title Screen will now resume play from last unlocked level (or last played level if New Game+) when main Campaign is selected.
Boxes will no longer become non-interactive in the DLC1 Nested Boxes level if set down loose within the cabinet, and another Box is placed into its target placement location atop of it.
Improved action when clicking the toggle buttons in the Lamp level when Tap to Hold setting is active.
Hacky Sack in the DLC2 Balls level now reliably collapses when hitting the floor, and will no longer become inadvertently rotated if had collided with another ball.

Added detail of interaction points on the Compass and retractable Protractor in DLC2 Math Set hints
Increased the size of the interaction point on the retractable Protractor in DLC2 Math Set to be a bit more obvious, and updated level icon to match

Corrected the “Levels” solution in DLC2 Leftovers to enforce order of least-to-most contents (or vice-versa) across the crosswise axis, as intended by design
“Keeping Count” and “Top Heavy Slice” achievements are now achievable if the level was Reset
Removed position of Toy Music Box handle from solution criteria for the DLC2 Music Box puzzle as it was too obscure
Reduced the number of allowable slide positions for the Slide Whistle in DLC2 Music Box
Alignment has been made more forgiving for the “Labels” solution in DLC2 Ink Bottles level
DLC2 Markers “Colour” solution now accepts green markers to be swapped to accommodate order by scientific value in addition to perceptive hue
