addedPatch NotesAdded the ability to press ESC to exit nozzle selection. * Added a Dirt Remaining progress bar when cleaning injured animals with soap. * Added the ability to pause the game while helping an injured animal. * Added the ability to pause the game while recycling. * Improved UI popups to better match the game’s style. * Reduced the number of palm trees spawned on Large Islands. * Increased the Water Gun’s water capacity. * Increased and balanced the amount of Coral Coins earned on Medium and Large Islands. * Increased the amount of coral spawned on Large Islands. * Made soap cleaning for injured animals much smoother. * Fixed an issue where Mud Piles, Oil Puddles, and Palm Trees could spawn on top of each other. * Fixed an issue where toggling the Clean/Dirty button did not affect restored Palm Trees and Ivy. * Fixed an issue where changing the FOV could cause injured animals to appear zoomed out. I know many of you are eager to try the game with a controller. The good news is that I’m already working hard on full controller support for the demo. It needs a little more time, as I want to make sure it feels right.
