◆ Game Balance Adjustments
　・Reduced the hit detection area of some Goo to better match its appearance.
　・Especially when the character is giant, adjusted the landing detection after jumping to better match the visual.
　　- This improves the issue where players think they are doing a first jump after landing but it counts as a second jump.
　・Adjusted so that barriers do not break when hitting obstacles while the character is in invincible state and using a barrier.
　・Adjusted so that characters do not hit flames that appear at the same height as the ground they are walking on without jumping.
　・When purchasing a duration level-up item while an item effect is active, the time extension difference between levels is applied, plus a flat 5-second extension as an active bonus.
　　- For example, if you purchase a duration level-up item from Lv.2 to Lv.3, the total extension will be 8 seconds: 3 seconds for the level difference plus the 5-second bonus.

◆ Functional Adjustment

　・Fixed an issue where the effect duration was recovered more than intended when purchasing a duration level-up while an item effect was active.
　・Fixed an issue where spawned Coins scrolled at the same speed as the stage, making it impossible for the character to catch up and collect them.
　・Fixed a bug where performing the second jump at a specific timing would result in an incorrect motion, preventing a high jump.
　・Fixed a bug where jumping at the same time as landing on spring boards for jumping would result in unintended height.
　・Fixed other minor bugs.
