- Fixed an issue where, when the player pressed the + button to open the pause screen with a set timing after entering a floor, the floor music would sometimes not play when the player closed the pause screen.

- Fixed an issue where, when a Parallel Cannon was heard in an active inkrail, it would sometimes push the player away significantly.
