This update is a big one. The powerup system has been revamped to make run progression clearer and more impactful, all powerups have been rebalanced, and a new miniboss, SnaggleTooth, now closes out the demo.
Rhythm sync, SFX timing and input feel have all been improved, and we've added music-contextual click tracks with controllable volume to give you more control over how you lock into the beat. Lighting has been improved across all scenes, graphical performance has been optimized for lower-end GPUs and new settings for Vsync, framerate, and other graphical options are now available.
This patch also includes new plugins from our design competition winners, added enemy SFX across the board, and a long list of stability fixes and bug squashes.
