Major Graphics Update!

[p]Hey Everyone! Bringing you some notes on a fairly major graphical update! I realized that the ship graphics were too similar so I changed them all to be DRASTICALLY different. I was also getting tired of all the meteors basically looking the same so we've added 3 more meteor shapes to give it some variety. You'll also probably notice some gameplay changes, more visuals, more effects, more physics, also LOTS of bug fixes which I'll have the full changelog below! If you're loving the demo don't forget to wishlist the game and if you got some feedback come hang out on discord![/p][p][/p]
