V0.1.206 has arrived!

This is a very small patch that originally wasn't planned. Kinda wanted to leave the Demo in the state it was already, but was inspired to do some additional changes in reaction to some tutorialization problems some players were experiencing when learning the game. The biggest addition are Control Prompts which are exclusively shown when you are new to the game/character. There has been a pattern, when watching people learn the game, that they'd end up forgetting about some buttons and/or mechanics. This change is trying to work against that issue by simply reminding you of the button to press depending on the situation.
Additionally, these control prompts act as a sort of "micro tutorial" for certain, "more complicated" characters. These prompts are only shown a maximum of 3 times provided you actually follow them. After that, they vanish forever, never to bother you again, since you hopefully by that point know the drill by now. Other than that we have minor additions, changes, and some minor asset changes.

Full Changelog:

• Added "Control Prompts" for the following Actions:
  • Slamming (Appears when you can slam someone)
  • Boosting (Appears when you never boosted despite being very high in HP for a prolonged amount of time, and/or when you're about to run out of time and seriously need to catch up)
  • Deadlift Grab/Throw
  • Mr.Kill Detonating of placed bombs
  These prompts are only shown a max of 3 times when followed. Experienced players will not get these when updating to this build.
• Added "NO BOMBS" Pop-up when pressing Special as Mr.Kill despite no bombs being placed
• Self-Destruction due to boosting too far out of the level boundaries now has a proper cause in the game over screen instead of "UNKNOWN"
• Changed Mr. Kill's Special wording to "BOOSTING INTO" instead of "RAMMING" to more clearly communicate how to use the special.
• A bunch of minor asset changes.
