Kitchen Sync: Aloha! changes
Small Update to the Demo with some bug fixes and quality of life improvements. Thank you to everyone who's tried the demo, and extra thanks to those who've reported bugs and feedback. Mahalo!
UI
Added 'Idle' reminder above pause button to increase clarity
Hovering over a stat in the level up screen shows explanation of the stat
The screen dims behind the sync bar for a moment when it fully charges
Cooking
Ensured Autopause kicks in for a range of corner cases like gifts disappearing and dishes being lifted during cooking
Fixed a physics bug allowing chefs with multiple move speed buffs to overshoot their targets or clip through scenery
Tooltips
Properly scale with screen size
A tooltip now shows up in Lv1 explaining that chefs can be right clicked to view info
Help text appears when you try to serve an unfinished dish
Game Balance
Tutorial gift appears a bit later to avoid conflict with the sync style tutorial
Uncle's ability tweaked to partially fill the sync bar at the start of the level instead of just multiplying the incoming sync amounts
Reduced ticket difficulty for early chapters/missions
Increased time limits for early chapters/missions
SFX
Initial volume settings during first run should be reduced
Tickets will play sfx when ready
Autopause now plays sfx when pausing
Twists
Bad Twists cannot be discovered anymore (they're removed from the game for now!)
Mastery effects on dish starting quality have been increased to compensate!
Assisted Twists are now flagged as such immediately. No need for guess and check!
The Skill Experimenter now triggers if you've discovered a perfect twist instead of a bad twist
Customizer
Autofill now prefers special stations to normal stations. Still random between types of special stations.
Auto filling stations now correctly clears current stations to make room for new needed ones. Currently reshuffles station placement as well, might revisit someday.
A trendy tag now shows up for trending flavored dishes (just for more clarity!)
Misc other bugs and improvements!
