1.0d - Various QoL and fixes

Bug fixes

Fixed a display bug on the leaderboard not showing the hours (congrats to Degenerate to be the first reaching the hour mark!)

Others

Changed the default Steam Input settings so it works better for controllers and Steam Deck
Changed the starting position of the Air Strike OMG to the player's cursor. (It was spawning too far and could take a while before reaching the player)

Added a countdown before the activation of the dash weapon
The wins on each map by each character is now saved. This progression is visible on the character selection screen. It wasn't saved before so this is not retroactive.
