- Update 1.42 - 21 September 2026
- Fixed boxes sometimes disappearing too early or not disappearing when empty. - Fixed a box animation glitch.
- Update 1.41 - 18 September 2026
A small patch — mostly under-the-hood fixes, with a couple of things you'll actually notice. Clearer feedback when an item doesn't fit. Reworked the visual response when you try to place something where it can't go. The hint is easier to read — the background behind it now dims. Quests now count items that were already on the level. Previously only items you'd picked up yourself were counted. Fixed merging an item that has something standing on it. The save system is more resilient. Updated the Unity version Thanks to everyone sending bug reports — almost everything on this list came from you.
- Version 1_38 - Bug Fixes, V-Sync and Performance - 16 September 2026
Fixes Fixed jelly-related bugs and shelf sorting issues in the Konbini level. Fixed the floor in the Streamer room so the sandwich no longer falls behind the fridge. Settings Added a V-Sync toggle. Camera sensitivity settings now live in the Game tab when the settings window is opened from within a level. Performance Optimized dynamic sorting, which should help levels with lots of items (like the Konbini) run more smoothly.
- Neat Patch: About HP-Book Reference - 15 September 2026
Hey everyone! This is Arti from the development team and Burak from the publishing team. We would like to address the concerns raised in some negative comments about a Harry Potter book reference in our game. After learning about the context, we removed the book reference from the game. We do not support hate speech. We sincerely apologize for including this reference without understanding the context and for making some players uncomfortable. We also hope players will judge the game on its own merits, considering the seven months of work by the art and development teams and the three months of work by the publishing team. Our goal is to bring you comfort, not make you uncomfortable. We also would like to thank our players for sharing game-related issues, and we are actively working on patches to fix these. Arti & Burak
