addedWe've been silent for about 2 weeks, and its not just because we've been playing Half Life Alyx like everyone else. Instead we've been working a medium update regarding making the overall gameplay loop more satisfying, and this involves the introduction of a shop. The items that can be bought will be purely cosmetic at the moment, but basically by going through levels you will earn in game coins, and you can use these coins to spend on themes such as Winter and Spring etc. The whole environment will change in correspondence to add a bit of fun and variation, so soon you might be finding yourself working in the snow. If you guys have cool ideas for themes, we're more than happy to listen.
addedYou will also be able to spend your coins on customer packs, so soon you'll not only have humans coming in as customers, but also elves, aliens, animals and who knows what. We've also added a couple of secret characters, maybe we'll turn those into achievements if you encounter them.
addedWe heard about the mouse turning being too sensitive for the waiter in co-op mode so we'll add a slider for that, we know how you feel. Lastly, we've heard all about the issues with Steam Remote Play, we will definitely try our best to make a work around for the issue. I'll say we made a mistake on our part by not first testing the feature, as we assumed it would work, and we didn't have time before. From what you guys are saying it seems like there is some camera registration issue, which we'll figure out.
changedAnyway, stay tuned, we are working on stuff! In terms of time it'll probably take a week and a bit more. We hope everyone is doing ok in the self isolation, and that the update brings some extra fun when its out. If you guys have any thoughts, please post them in the comments below.

The theme of this update is mastery, we want you to have an incentive to perfect those levels, because that was not present before. One incentive is so you can buy your favorite themes and customers. Another will be the addition of "gates", so every 5 levels you have to achieve a certain number of stars before you can reach the next five levels, so that you have a reason to achieve higher than just the bare minimum of one star. Some reviews claimed that they finished the entire game in an hour, which is certainly possible if you only do single player mode and just cruise along and finish every level with one star(which we might have made too easy). The game is designed for mastery, but we didn't give much incentive, which was a bad omission we hope to address.
