The "try again" popup at the end of a level. The popup says "Not enough hype!" followed by "Wait a minute, that's not what happened... Let me tell the story again." followed by menu buttons that say: "Try again", "Crank assist mode" (which has a checkmark next to it), "Back to briefing" and "Main menu"
✅ To simplify access to the most useful modifiers, the Crank Assist or Single Button widgets will now appear directly on the "try again" popup at level end (depending on level type). If default gameplay proves too difficult, it's easier than ever to adjust the challenge!
