  Control Refinements and Intro Visual Fixes

  In this update, we made several small but important improvements focused on control comfort and overall gameplay experience:1- Ground Slide Input AdjustmentWe noticed that using Down + Jump to trigger the ground slide could sometimes cause direction misreads on controllers. To improve the control feel while keeping the existing input intact, we added RT as an additional input option for the ground slide.2- Controller UI Shortcut CleanupWe also removed the mute and screen size toggle shortcuts from controller inputs. This should prevent accidental screen resizing during intense moments, especially while using Fury.3- Intro Fullscreen Text FixWe fixed a fullscreen display issue where some intro text could visually break through the intended layout.And as always, thank you everyone for the continued support. If you are enjoying the game and have a moment to spare, leaving a review really helps us a lot and supports the future of the project.Team ONI

  Hello gamers!Crystal Gaiden Origins receives another round of improvements and fixes! 1- Pit Respawn in Normal Difficulty.No more instant kills in Normal. You now respawn safely at the edge of the pit.You will still lose 1 HP, but the game is now much more fun to explore.2- New Sub Weapon: The Shield Low on HP? Died right before finishing the boss? Say hello to the Shield. This brand new sub weapon grants you a few seconds of invincibility. Use it wisely, especially if you are aiming to defeat the final boss on Hard. 3- Updated Details for Multiple Endings We received a lot of feedback and questions about the good ending, especially around Chi'Lang saying he could not save the world. Et voila - the ending now has a lot more detail and clarity instead of feeling like riddles.The game has also been adjusted slightly. For example: Chi'Lang's memento note is now hidden in Normal runs, while other characters notes remain visible. 4- Gameplay AdjustmentsAdjusted checkpoint placement in later stages for a slightly fairer challenge.5- Minor FixesFixed missing character issues in certain languages.Fixed a cutscene issue where text would unexpectedly jump to the next line.We appreciate all your love and support for the game.
