Bug Fix
Disabled some lighting in the Deathmatch minigame, which due to a bug in Unity, caused the creation of many many textures, resulting in memory problems. This may have been the cause of the 'black screen' glitch.

- New Character: Fuschia Runner has been added to Minigame Blast!
- The colour of Midnight Mage has been lightened to make it easier to see on darker backgrounds
- You can now press 'B' to back out of the Minigame screens in Freeplay mode
- Fixed a bug where enabling/disabling X-Input would very rarely cause the game to stop recognizing controllers
Count'Em
- The number of unique icons that float by is now at least 4, and up to the number of players. This is to accommodate for more than 8 unique avatars. This also makes the game a little harder
- Icons stop appearing a half second sooner for a longer grace period at the game's end
Hotdog, No Hotdog
- The game now lasts 1 minute, up from 45 seconds
- Difficulty has been adjusted for the new game length

- Cover Images are now compressed. This reduces the game's size by a lot
- Music is now more compressed. This reduces the game's size even more
- We now use smaller modified (painterlyish) images for the Freeplay screen and the previous large images everywhere else. This provides the best look and lower memory usage
Dungeon Crawl
- Reduced player health from 50 to 40. This is a balance change to make the slightly game harder. Players would frequently finish the game with an abundance of health left (when winning)
Minigolf
- Added the ability to zoom the camera in/out using the Right/Left shoulder buttons (scroll wheel with keyboard/mouse)
- The camera rotate sensitivity has been reduced by ~60%. It was too difficult to reach an exact angle, causing frustration. This speed is more precise and still allows for quick view adjustments
- Removed the high back wall on the Windy level and replaced with a normal wall. It was not needed to stop the ball and often just blocked the player's view
- Lowered the unusually high walls on the U-Turn level

- Changed the spawn rate from 3 to 7 enemies per wave, to 3 to 5 + 'the number of players' enemies per wave
