Patch notes

1. v0.5.0-alphaLatestJul 8, 2026
   • Mastery Perks: the day-end ceremony now offers pick-1-of-3 permanent perks for your run - automate skills you have mastered, from instant plating to a sous chef who clears your grill. Sizzling run-changers unlock at day 10, 20, 30 and 40.
   • Days now grow with your restaurant: day 1 is a brisk 8-minute opening morning and days stretch to the full 20 minutes by day 7, with rent scaled to match.
   • Lunch and dinner rushes: every day has a shape - warm-up, a packed 12-1 lunch, a breather to restock, a 6-7 dinner rush, then wind-down.
   • Props got real: proper coffee machine, chopping board, mugs, milkshakes and striped fry cartons, plus a vending machine and back-room sink for atmosphere.
   • Your first customer now arrives within seconds of opening - no more empty-restaurant stare.
2. v0.4.0-alphaJul 6, 2026
   • The town talks now: your SIZZLE RATING (the flame under your money) rises and falls with your service, and named regulars come back, tip better, and can become superfans who bring friends
   • Day-end ACCOLADES: after closing time a ceremony board crowns the day's standouts in co-op (Head Chef, Speed Server, Supply Runner and more, with day streaks) — solo runs track your personal bests instead
   • All-new HUD: an animated flame gauge, a money counter that ticks and pops, order tickets that slide in and shuffle by urgency, and a cleaner layout everywhere
   • Made a mistake or hit a bug? RESTORE A DAY from the pause menu rolls your run back to the end of any earlier day — and Export Support Bundle packs everything we need to help you
   • Every machine now has a real recorded gameplay video in the Tutorials tab, from the grill to the rotisserie
   • Balance pass: gentler rent in your first solo week, starter plates and fry boxes in the pantry, and hot restaurants can charge a premium
3. v0.3.0-alphaJul 4, 2026
   • Huge menu expansion: 18 dishes across a savory line, a cafe corner and world flavors, unlocked by 8 new buyable machines (pizza oven, chop board, coffee machine, rotisserie and more).
   • Dine-in service: customers walk in, queue at the counter, then sit at tables - cook their order and bring it to their table before their patience runs out.
   • VIP events: a food critic, the health inspector or a night-shift officer may drop in with a demanding order. Impress them for a cash bonus and next-day buzz; fail and eat some bad press.
   • Learn as you play: the back-office computer now has step-by-step tutorials with real gameplay videos for every machine.
   • Assist Mode and accessibility: patience, rent and burn assists, UI scaling, colorblind-friendly palettes and an FOV slider.
   • Plus: an expansion wing to grow into, buyable and movable dining tables, 10 achievements, custom condiment orders, and a big pass on UI, icons and audio.
4. v0.2.0-alphaJul 2, 2026
   • Days now run a full 9am-to-9pm shift (about 20 minutes) with the restaurant lighting drifting from sunrise to sunset.
   • Customers can order combos - up to three items each - shown on their order bubble and your ticket, served one at a time.
   • Mouse-first controls: left-click to pick up, place and serve; scroll the wheel to rotate equipment; drop with G.
   • Every control is now rebindable in Settings, for both keyboard/mouse and controller, with reset-to-defaults.
   • Clearer interactions: whatever you look at glows, and a green/red ghost shows exactly where an item or machine will land.
   • Rearrange the kitchen freely in manage mode - move any equipment and your layout is remembered.
   • A full audio pass: sound for every action with an AAA-style music duck, plus tunable crowd and kitchen ambience.
5. v0.1.1-alphaJun 29, 2026
   • Fixed a launch error ("failed to load mono") some players hit after unzipping - the download now extracts and runs correctly with any unzip tool (7-Zip, WinRAR, Windows, Mac).
   • Co-op: your invite code now shows clearly in the pause menu with a one-click Copy button, so it's easy to share with a friend.
   • Sizzlix now wears its own app icon on the game window and the .exe.
