  v1.0.2

  PATCH NOTES 1.0.2: First and foremost, thank you all for supporting Pakinpaks, everyone! We just got home and we're adapting ourselves to our new baby, so updates from us may be a bit sparse until we get everything sorted out around here :) We'll keep making fixes, QOL and improvements to the game, there are things that I still want to tackle but will take a bit longer (like transition stutters and stuff like that). For now, here's what we managed to do: QOL: - When you hover your cursor over a placed piece, tooltips will also be shown if you are hovering any special cell below - ESC now works to quit from most menus, including confirmation prompts Improvements: - Improved property icon position for piece shapes where the icon would usually be outside the piece's cells (like Headphones and Float) Bugfixes: - Fixed ESC not working on Level Selection - Fixed interactions between Annie's peculiarities and Chameleon (like when Chameleon got Sandy and permanently dropped sand during Annie's levels) - Fixed transition inconsistencies on Infinite Modes - Fixed removing placed piece when releasing the Zoolaroid - Fixed a case where hints could be activated while a dialogue was happening - Fixed some wrong wildcards on PT-BR strings - "Rotate Piece" cue now appears on 0-2 even if you have "Skip All Dialogues" active
