Hello from Studio BBB.
This update adds checkpoint saving for changes such as broken rocks and cleared passages, and lets you choose difficulty and Support in co-op play.
We've also improved controller support and saving, and fixed several bugs.

1. Checkpoints and Retries
We've reduced the need to solve the same puzzles again when restarting from a checkpoint.
Rocks you broke, passages you cleared, and similar changes made before reaching a checkpoint stay as they were. Only changes made after reaching it are reset. Returning from a hidden stage also preserves the state from just before you entered it.
2. Co-op Play
You can now select Hard difficulty and Support in co-op play.
Support is available only on Normal difficulty.
Hints are currently available only in solo play. We're considering support for co-op play in a future update.
3. Controller Vibration and Prompts
3.1. Vibration and Light Bar
Added ‘Cinematic Vibration’ and ‘Menu Vibration’ to the Controller settings.
‘Cinematic Vibration’ lets you turn vibration for videos and scripted sequences on or off separately.
‘Menu Vibration’ provides a short vibration when navigating menus. It is supported on DualSense and Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers.
Improved the DualSense controller's light bar to display emotion colors and respond to taking damage, collecting Emotion Shards, and some scripted sequences.
Adjusted Xbox controller vibration during videos and scripted sequences to follow the beat more clearly.
3.2. Connections and Button Prompts
In solo play, the game now pauses if the controller you were using disconnects.
Fixed keyboard icons appearing when using a generic controller, and controller icons remaining after switching to the keyboard.
4. Saving and Recovery
Corrupted save files are now marked, and a confirmation is shown before resetting them.
Improved recovery using the previous save if a problem occurs while saving.
5. Menus and Settings
Fixed an issue where resetting graphics settings also changed other settings.
Fixed window size and resolution not being applied correctly in windowed mode.
Fixed the FPS limit switching to Unlimited in certain situations.
The game now follows the language selected in Steam until you choose a language in the game.
Fixed errors when changing or saving key bindings.
6. Visual and Progression Issues
Fixed some Lava Crystals remaining after exploding and continuing to deal damage.
Fixed control prompts for sand tunnels being obscured by characters or effects.
Reduced brief flashes when replaying cutscenes and refined the prompts.
Refined the layouts of Settings, the Codex, and difficulty selection, along with text display in some languages.
Reduced processing for some off-screen objects to ease the performance load, and reduced the game's file size.
