Hi!

This updates includes several small fixes, with some more important gameplay bug fixes in the mix.

One change I wanted to point out especially is the "Pet Charming Multiplier" bug. As it turns out, the pet mini-game has been far more difficult than we intended, because the timed-hit and interest multipliers were broken! With this update, the interest level and timed-hits will make a significant difference in how quickly animals can be befriended!

The patch also addresses a few important UI usability issues, some camera adjustments, a few issues that could cause a puzzle to become stuck and unfinished, and some minor performance improvements.
