1) Gameplay Changes:

● We determined that a simple Tilt Swing Shot (without Power Mode ON) should not be as strong as or stronger than a Power Swing Shot.

To align with this decision, we modified the Swing and Release logic as follows:
- Increased the force of the Power Swing release.
- Reduced the force of the Tilt Swing release.

Our goal was to maintain the overall gameplay feel while ensuring consistency with our intended balance.
Please share your feedback so we can further refine these adjustments if needed.

● Added a shortcut feature that allows you to go directly to the location where you can complete the selected quest.

● Immunity duration reduced.
- Previously: 1 second
- Changed: 0.5 seconds

● "Increased Invincibility Time when Stealing the Ball" Perk level adjustments:
- Previously: 10% / 20% / 30%
- Changed: 25% / 50% / 75%

● "Increased Grab Distance" Perk level adjustments:
- Previously: 5% / 10% / 15%
- Changed: 3% / 6% / 9%

● Updated the UI for the Training Program selection page.
