Overhauled Camera SystemThis is a major update that substantially changes how players interact with the levels and experience the game. It eliminates the issues with the "sticky cinematic camera" and the frustrations players were having with cameras not following the player or bugging out when the camera transitioned.The new camera system utilizes a free look camera that only switches to a cinematic camera for a handful of key moments. This new system allows for more freedom when exploring the levels or searching out speed run shortcuts.New CostumesNo Strange Brew update is compete without additional costumes to look your best. 8 new costumes are now unlocked when you complete levels under a time threshold. When unlocked these costumes should be available when you start the next level in the Costume Select screen.Additional optimization and bug fixing.
