- Mouse controls can now be rebound for primary click, secondary click, wheel up, wheel down, and middle-button pan, with a saved mouse-sensitivity slider centred on the current default.
- The title-screen Game Credits window now opens with the same purple smoke-puff burst used by other interface windows.
- The title-screen Config panel once again slides in from the left and exits to the right when closed.
- Volatile Dust Mutator placement clearance now follows its two small tower bodies instead of blocking the empty midpoint or working beam span.
- Exit now waits for its title-screen wall animation, then asks for confirmation; cancelling sends the wall blocks flying back in from the right.
- Escape now closes the title-screen save-slot selector just like its X tab, while still cancelling a pending slot deletion first.
- The opening cutscene now fades smoothly through black between every scene, eases in from the title screen, and crossfades outgoing and incoming music on separate audio channels instead of switching tracks abruptly.
- Every opening-cutscene scene track now loops until its scene changes, preventing slower dialogue reading from leaving the sequence silent.
- Opening-cutscene dialogue now reads live English copy and paragraph structure from the editable sequence config; translations retain their own formatting when authored or inherit that English line/paragraph flow when no localized breaks are present.
- The Taxi Departure opening scene now plays a configurable one-shot Space Taxi launch cue with its own volume control alongside the scene music.
