If a player cannot afford multiple Behaviours, Beats, or Notes on a component, selection buttons now act as switches. Previously, new players could not afford a second behaviour but were unable to select a different one. This change allows switching to another option.

Fixed a bug where the tutorial video wasnt playing for some users.
Changed the colors for the Behaviour, beat and note Toggles, so that its easier to identify which ones are selected, selected stuff will be a shade of green no matter the selected songs color scheme

  #Fixed Issues[/p]

• [p]Secondary Thruster Behavior Fixed: Your secondary thruster particle system now properly syncs with your main thruster! It automatically stops emitting when you stop moving, just like the main thruster. This prevents lingering particle effects when pausing the game, returning to main menu after death, or exiting via the pause menu. Plus, any existing world-space particles gracefully fade out naturally instead of being abruptly cut off. Your thruster effects are now perfectly synchronized and won't haunt your main menu with unwanted visual noise![/p]
