Summary (AI)

Bits & Bops 1.6.0 introduces various gameplay and interface improvements, including new audio cues, smoother tutorial animations, and better handling of game speed settings. The update fixes bugs related to input processing, stuck clocks, and animation playback, while enhancing editor functionality with a larger maximum beat limit and improved mixtape management. Spanish (Latin America) language support is now fully available, and several localization updates have been made to in-game text and labels. Additional events and fixes for marching games and progress stability have also been implemented.
