Post Jam Update

Version 1.3 marks the release of the first post-jam update! This collection of changes aims to improve the overall gameplay experience of the game by making a lot of quality of life alterations for the better & providing more feedback to the player's progress.

TL;DR of the changes: the game is now more responsive, slightly more forgiving, a touch easier (smoothed out the hardest parts and unfair aspects), and has a nicer death screen (since you'll be seeing a lot of it).

Full change log for 1.3:

• Improved terrain hitboxes (made more forgiving)
• Improved ship hitbox (made more forgiving)
• Improved turret hitboxes (gun barrel is now an active hitbox)
• Made general improvements to the level design to make it a little more balanced
  • Moved some turrets into slightly easier to hit locations (small adjustments up or down for the most part)
  • Changed the corridor after the mini-boss to contain mostly normal corvette ships instead of all corvette ships with guns
    • This was originally a mistake I didn't realize until after the submission for Ludum Dare, so I couldn't fix it until after
• Mildly reduced the final boss' HP (it felt like it was less about learning the patterns of the boss and more just attrition)
• Changed the sound effect of the egg being hit to be more distinct (trying to make egg hits more noticeable)
• Added screen shake effects to the egg being hit, the ship being hit, and the ship being destroyed (trying to make egg hits more noticeable)
• Added tips to the death screen (noticed a lot of people are unfamiliar with common tactics in auto-scrolling space SHMUPs)
• Added a progress bar to the death screen to show how much left of the level there was
• Added a proper egg sprite (no longer the default knob sprite from Unity!)
• Adjusted egg hitbox to new sprite (it's a little bit larger now, and not perfectly circular)
• Increased fade speed for death screen (to return to the game sooner after death)
• Slightly adjusted the following logic of the egg to make it a little smoother as it chases after the ship
