Alpha 1.18 - Controller support
Developer commentary:
We're currently in the middle of revamping story mode, so it's disabled for now. To be honest, I don't think it was ever that good anyway and I now believe that alpha 1.10 was a mistake. However, I decided it was about time to add controller support. I've always thought the game could work great with the twin stick style controls, and I was right!

-Gameplay
-New mechanic: rolling (with a punch)
-All attacks have a direction, and must hit a body part in order for it to deal damage
-Depending on the body part's current global velocity, it will affect the final damage
-Roll: A hit body part moving away from an attack will have its damage taken be reduced down to 0.75x
-Antiroll: A hit body part moving into the attack will take up to 1.25x extra damage
-The goal is to make slipping into a strike more dangerous, and slipping out less so, but you also have a higher damage potential against enemies that are charging at you.
-Head hit multiplier reduced from 2x -> 1.5x. Head hits were just too lethal. Rolling also increased damage potential by a lot, which stacked with head hits. They are still far more lethal than body shots.
-Push multiplier is now also a balance damage multiplier
-Story mode temporarily disabled as it is currently being revamped
-Added keybind for mouse/keyboard turning around with just one button press (default: Left Alt)
-Naturally spawning enemies now all have a slight randomization on their stat block (from 0.9x to 1.1x)
-Added a button to take no reward in case the player ever wants to do so
-Arcade mode now gives a free upgrade at the very start
-Smoothened ragdoll from airborne
-Enemies more smoothly transition from getting up into attacking
-QOL
-Style select screen now only shows available moves instead of highlighting available moves. It also now shows all available moves, and clicking on an arm/leg move will swap the map to the arm/leg mapping
-Aesthetic

-Enemies now fade away on death instead of popping out of existence
