**COMING SOON** Revamped settings screen
Revamped in-game settings
Expanded lobby

**NEW ADDITIONS** The Main Menu and Lobby are now in one scene Map sizes have finally been added!
Go for a large map if you plan to have a longer run, or go for a small map if you don't wanna wait so long for generation

Difficulties are now available!
Normal difficulty has been made easier, hard and mortal however, are a different story ;)

**Bug Fixes** Fixed an issue where weapons may show as unlocked, but they can't be picked
Fixed an issue where locked weapons can be picked

**NERFS** Enemies
Twilight zone enemies have had their health nerfed across the board Guardian Construct
The Guardian Construct is no longer invulnerable during phase transitions
Harpoon
The Harpoon's passive, Bloodthirsty, now only grants a 50% damage bonus **Quality of Life (QoL)** The map now generates slightly faster
Some typos have been amended
The hitstop on Sea Mine and Hydra Mines have been significantly reduced

**Visual Changes** Some overly bright lights have been dimmed **Notes** Performance optimizations are an ongoing effort. Please be patient with us—we’re a small team of two programmers, including myself!
We'll also be adding more audio as we go for things such as hits, hurt, etc
