- Fixed jerseys that hide pants not hiding pants correctly

Hey Slappers,

We've patched v1.1.1 with some minor changes:
- Added the ability to cancel queue from end game screen
- Fixed a memory leak in the Bundles shop tab when wearing a cosmetic that gets hidden by another piece of the outfit and uses a newer coloring technique (yeah that was an annoying one to figure out)
- When pressing escape to close the dev console, your mouse will correctly lock if in-game
- Added June's Patreon items to the gamefiles: Egg puck, iridiscent helmet, lava cape, waffle stick, stop sign

Good luck, have fun!
