Im loving the new update, and can't wait for the next one. The New sprites are really great, and I enjoyed meeting the new faces, as well as the old ones again. Minor spoiler:
1 small continuity error(?), the MC uses the app on the phone, to look for the location of the lost and found... To find his phone. I thought it was going to be one of those cases where you've lost your phone, but it's in your hand, but then it really was in the lost and found.
Edit: I have only had Sparky for one day, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in Maplestone and then myself.
