Key changes
Reworked the running system.
It now no longer recharges over time and is instead refilled by the syringe, adding an extra element of item management. The reasoning behind the change, is due to how people engaged with the game when the original update was implemented.
I noticed players used to run past enemies and speed through most of the game, having way too much ammo and syringes by the end. To help with this change, I added food items for people to eat in order to recharge some stamina, along with an extra syringe early game. I’ll revert the changes if it’s unpopular.
