Crash Bandicoot Launcher 2.3

✨ New Features

Gem hints (optional): the map and level start now show what each level's gems need: gem paths, bridge progress and lost-gem notices. Available on desktop and Android. (#131)
Japanese-style box drop (optional): at the end of a level only one missed box drops, but the counter still shows the full missed count. (#170)
Story intro on New Game (optional): the story cutscene plays before the map when you start a new game. (#171)
PAL speed (25 FPS) mode: a new frame-rate preset that runs gameplay at PAL speed. Menus and display pacing stay at 60. (#153)
Settings inside the pause menu: Settings is now a page in the pause card, with themed tabs. Esc goes back to the pause menu.
True pause: gameplay and audio now freeze while the pause menu is open, and the paused time no longer affects frame pacing.
Animated menu icons in the pause menu and in the Windows/Linux launchers. "Start Game" gets focus as soon as disc validation finishes.
