Update #20 – Smooth Picnics, Sharp Shots

This update is focused on making your runs smoother, more precise, and faster to play. From synergy tags that simplify build choices to a polished Bow & Arrow experience, Update 20 cuts friction and boosts readability across the board. We also upgraded ambience, tightened visuals, and cleaned up several long-standing issues so every moment of your picnic feels better.
