This patch makes these updates:
- replaced the tutorial with a much more entertaining one
- improved the zoom in/out feature when using the map editor (it's done using mousewheel or +/- on keyboard)
- chains swing a bit more based on speed you hit them at when grabbing them
- a number of physics efficiency tweaks to help framerates
- fixed a bug with positioning of the troll sprite when it attacks

This patch rolls in a few playability tweaks with keyboard and especially game controller use:
- 2 or more controllers can now be plugged in at once, and whichever one is active will be listened to
- to jump from a wall or chain: now just press left/right+jump; there's no need to also press Up (which was awkward previously, especially on game controllers)
- if you jump to a wall/chain and grab it without letting go of the 'up' button, then you will now start climbing without needing to release+re-press 'up'
- on controllers, either of the analog sticks, and the dpad now work for movement
- fixed a bug whereby you could not jump off walls/chains when using the dpad

We have just graduated from Early Access into Full Release! Thanks immensely to everyone who supported us over the past year :-)

We're currently live on Reddit doing an AMA about our development process, Greenlight, our experience successfully navigating Early Access, and - well - anything about the game really. Feel free to drop by!
