Hello, This is EZ2ON Team.

This update addresses several issues related to the 11/25 update and makes improvements to existing features.

● What's New

1. Improved look and feel of gameplay
We are constantly monitoring every single user feedback to see if there's room for improvement. We can't stress enough that we are experimenting with the overall look and feel very seriously.
The gameplay mainly consists of two elements, audio and visual. And we believe these two are key to an improved play experience.

- Improved BG/Key sound volume option — the values are reset to default. Players need to re-adjust accordingly.
- Improved sound playback engine — provides even more emphasis towards key sounds.
- Fixed an issue where the key feedback opacity option didn't behave as intended.
