Weekly Progress Report #50
This week brings a new level and some bug fixes.
After prototyping a bunch of new levels in the past few weeks, the idea of making a level "that's just really big" came up, and I thought it was a great idea. This level is pretty much just that. It's huge, the goal is almost 1 km from the start. If you haven't learned how to gain speed & momentum, this level shouid provide you with a nice, mostly safe place to practice.

The return of "Bug of the Week"! If you were skidding along a surface and slid into water, the skid effect wouldn't be disabled. This was a pretty easy bug to fix, but I thought it was dumb/funny and wanted to highlight it. The fix was just to add some code to the swim code to disable skid effects.
New Level: Gotta Go Fast
