  Xplorite Demo Update

  Hi everyone!We've been working on a lot of smaller improvements throughout the game. This update includes two major changes:Tile collisions now follow the visual shape of tiles more closely. This means character movement will feel smoother, especially on tiles that aren't perfectly square.The minimap can now be resized to show more of the surrounding area. It will also update correctly when you pick up a map item. Here's the complete changelog: GameplayImproved tile collision detection to more closely match tile geometry.Refined character movement when interacting with vertical surfaces, resulting in smoother collision handling and reduced frustration.Updated enemy navigation and movement to follow the new tile collision shapes.Adjusted upward enemy-hit pushback behavior:Pushback now only occurs when the enemy survives the hit.If the enemy is defeated, player movement continues uninterrupted.Fixed an issue where landing from significant heights onto bounce platforms could incorrectly trigger the Big Landing animation.Fixed unintended player movement occurring while aiming.Hitting an enemy now resets the player's downward momentum, preventing Big Landing from triggering incorrectly afterward.Challenges & AchievementsFixed the Sunken City challenge effect reappearing after loading a saved game.Fixed the "Speedy Gonzales" achievement unlocking when entering any door. The achievement is now awarded only when re-entering the secret door as intended.UI & UXFixed Minimap Enhance activation so it only triggers through button input while outside menus.Fixed the minimap not updating correctly after collecting a map item.Disabled Pause Menu button interactions while returning to the Main Menu.Disabled Main Menu button interactions until the fade-to-black transition has fully completed.Improved menu navigation responsiveness when returning from gameplay, ensuring default button focus is restored immediately.Added item icons to door interaction prompts to better indicate consuma...
