Cleaning Up The Puzzle Gallery Patch v1.2.11 Tackles Completion Confusion and Controller Bugs
The latest patch for Cleaning Up The Puzzle Gallery arrives as a direct response to player feedback, concentrating on clarity, save reliability, and a handful of persistent friction points.
What changed
- Finished puzzle visibility — Completed frames now display a subtle brightening effect and gold particle flecks, making it easier to spot the one puzzle holding up completion.
- Smarter completion detection — The Occipital ability and the endgame secret ability have been expanded to recognize incorrectly slotted, rotated, or placed pieces, helping surface near-misses that previously looked like finishes. The resettle button in settings received the same awareness.
- Occipital visual overhaul — The ability's color has shifted from static light blue to a cycling palette, with adjusted flash timing to prevent it from washing out against the gallery's bright environment.
- Autosave expanded — The game previously saved only on puzzle completion; it now also autosaves every five minutes.
- Challenge mode access — All challenge modes unlock upon completing the base game, removing the prior requirement to progress through them sequentially.
- Frontal Lobe sound fix — The ability no longer triggers its audio cue on autocasts when no pieces are available to flip.
- Switch Pro controller fix — ZL and ZR inputs were not registering; this has been addressed. All controller triggers now require slightly less pressure to activate.
- Endgame secret ability renamed — The developer acknowledged a personal confusion with a similar-sounding word and has corrected the name accordingly.
Taken together, the changes reduce the odds of players stalling at the finish line without understanding why — which appears to have been the patch's central motivation.
