Gameplay improvements and quality of life features

Some players did not enjoy the "No Paw" Challenge from the last update. So I reverted the tutorial level back to the original single screen level. I also removed the "No Paw" challenge entirely from the new "BreakOut Mode".
I hope this update will satisfy both players that enjoy the additional challenges with ball steering and players looking for a more traditional BreakOut-style game.
