Today, we have released the Update Ver. 0.1.5 for the demo version.In this update, we have implemented several critical balance adjustments based on the valuable feedback we received from all of you.One of the most frequent pieces of feedback was that "reducing the number of blocks in hand became too much of an optimal strategy, leading to monotonous gameplay where players just keep placing the exact same blocks."
