changedOverall framerates should be better, and you'll have more options to tweak low / medium / high settings to your preference – like the option to turn Lumen, Reflections or even AA off completely.
changedhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3563110/The_Button_Effect__Demo/ Auto-saving is now much lighter and will store all of your steps – in case of a crash or unexpected power outage, it will reload your progress and store a back-up of the previous save file on the next play.
addedI've also added a few smaller QoL changes, like increasing the range of the Sensitivity slider for better control and adding a Brightness slider for devices with darker screens.
addedLooking ahead, I'll be focusing on new puzzle content and level designs for the mid- and endgame – I'm excited for you to solve what's coming!
