Finally! 0.3 is ready, and personally that's huge.

What it means, besides all the changes, bug fixes and content added, is that the final line is in sight. This version was a milestone, after which I would mostly be working on creating stages for the game. So far there are 26 maps in solo game, and 4 maps for local pvp. My vision on the final game would be to have 100+ maps. Bigger, more complex with many challenges and secrets spread around. But  I will leave that for an other devlog.

-new prototype VFX+SFX when healing

-new "heat haze" implementation
