✅ Patch Notes

  • Tutorial & Goal HUD can now be toggled with TAB (with a smooth animation).

  • When the Tutorial Guide is open, the game now properly pauses in the background, making it safer to read.

  • ESC behavior improved: it now closes the currently open UI first, and only then opens the menu fewer accidental interruptions.

  • Fixed ESC back/exit flow in Car Customization and Color selection menus.

  • Mouse settings updated:

    • FPS sensitivity and Cursor sensitivity are now separated

    • Max speeds increased

    • Cursor drift issue fixed

  • Added an outline helper for the trash cleaning step in the tutorial.

  • WorldFollow / Tutorial pointer now gives more stable & accurate direction for far-away targets.

  • When entering the fryer burning stage, an extra smoke + sound warning now triggers again for clearer feedback.

  • Potato slice physics/placement improved: more natural spread, less jitter, fewer out-of-area moments.

If you had a rough experience, detailed feedback helps me fix things faster (where it happened + what you expected). Thanks again for playing and sharing your thoughts!
