Summary
We’ve fixed an issue where starting a New Game or using Reset Progress didn’t reliably return the game to the intended starting difficulty/maze settings. Some players saw Level reset to 1, but the underlying difficulty could remain higher than expected.

What’s fixed

• New Game now correctly resets level, seed, and difficulty to the intended starting values.
  
• Reset Progress clears all Cozy-mode progression keys so your next run starts fresh.
  
• Added safeguards to prevent stale settings from carrying over between runs.
  

What this means for you

• Starting a new run now always begins at Level 1 with the proper starting difficulty.
  
• Existing saves are not harmed; only New Game or Reset Progress flows are affected.
  

If you still see anything odd

• From the Main Menu, choose Settings → Reset Progress, then start a New Game.
  
• Please share a brief report if the issue persists (your platform + steps you took).
