UPDATE!!
One of MOM's flibbles was a lot more jellied than we thought, so we made some fixes The shoreline audio will not cause crashes on surround sound systems Reduced likelihood of loud bursts of audio after extended play The flower of the final STARPLANT will not close around BUD once
One of MOM's flibbles was a lot more jellied than we thought, so we made some fixes

The shoreline audio will not cause crashes on surround sound systems

Crystals should be less likely to become blocked by nearby branches
