Hi everyone! I finally decided to cut this update off, mainly because I feel like these things should have been included in the initial launch. There's not a lot of new features, but there's a lot of bug fixes and various polish. I DID add a few music tracks that I have been working on, but they are by no means final. Some of them are bad, and I only added 2 + a stage introduction one that's not that great.
I am working on this game in all of my free time; the only thing holding me back is school and applying for scholarships. Just know that I would absolutely LOVE to add online matchmaking and multiplayer to this game. No promises since I have ZERO experience developing an online game.
Anyways, enough yapping. Here's an approximation of all the changes:

Accessibility:
- Controller connect/disconnect notifications
- Detected controller display in the connecting screen
- An option for ending the game early

- Added gear keybinds indicator into lobby
Polish:
