Fixes

• Fixed inconsistent behaviour in the Sequential Switch and Reversed Sequential Switch.

A solution's score will only be submitted to the New-Game+ leaderboard if it uses any additional modules unlocked in New-Game+. Scores for solutions that don't use New-Game+ unlocked modules will be submitted to both New-Game+ leaderboards and Non New-Game+ leaderboards. New-Game+ leaderboards will be unlocked after completing the game at least once. To submit your Non New-Game+ scores again, load your save-game and re-complete the level.

• Added a Fast Forward playback speed. Press Shift + Space to activate it.
