[26.02.04 Release Notes] 0.5.1

📢 Patch Notes

Hello, this is the Midnight Study development team.

Based on your feedback, we've recognized that Arin's control difficulty is excessively high and uncomfortable. The adjustments in this patch are temporary measures; we are planning a complete character rework, including the ability to collect Charms along the projectile's flight path, similar to other students.

Additionally, we have adjusted the balance of ACT 3 enemies and initiated support for various controllers. Please feel free to share any inconveniences you encounter. We will continue to improve the game to ensure the most comfortable play experience possible.
