In the new version launching during the Summer Sale, we’ve fixed most known bugs, improved the core experience, and adjusted the score requirements for some levels.Updates include, but are not limited to:Co-op stability improvements: Reduced issues such as lag during long play sessions and desync between the host and teammates.Customer and item interaction fixes: Improved cases where customers or items could get stuck in the environment, become impossible to pick up, fail to be thrown, or fly off unexpectedly.Level mechanic improvements: Reviewed mechanics that were more likely to cause blockage or frustration, such as rotating platforms, portals, and springs.Solo and Duo balance adjustments: Optimized score targets, customer flow, and overall pressure in selected levels.Controller, tips, and UI improvements: Fixed some input recognition issues, overlapping prompts, and unclear information displays.  Quick character select feature added: You can now switch characters quickly based on your needs.
