A whole new way to play!

This is our biggest change to the game in a while. Now when using Autopilot(soon to be renamed), you will have independent control over each cleaner! Controls have changed a bit to accommodate this new play style. It works best with a controller but is doable with keyboard. When using a controller: - Left Stick => left cleaner move - 'Press' Left Stick => left cleaner dash - Left Trigger => left cleaner 'chip shot' - Right Stick => right cleaner move - 'Press' Right Stick => right cleaner dash - Right Trigger => right cleaner 'chip shot' When using a keyboard: - A|D => left cleaner move - S => left cleaner dash - W => left cleaner 'chip shot' - Left Arrow | Right Arrow => right cleaner move - Down Arrow => right cleaner dash - Up Arrow => right cleaner 'chip shot' PowerVector controls are unchanged, this only affects Autopilot. In the future 'Autopilot' and 'PowerVector' will be renamed to better reflect the play style choice. Something along the lines of: - precise cleaner positioning - precise orb redirects

Other updates:

* New swing animation for 'chip shot' * can no longer toggle between autopilot/powervector mid round. * adjusted 'chip shot' so it more reliably arcs and applies %50 less force to the orb * PongBreak now supports local multiplayer. Using autopilot allows independent control of the cleaners, let a buddy take the arrow keys or 'wasd' and you take the other. Or plug in a second controller, just be aware that left is left and right is right for both controllers. This will be improved in the future. * Bug fix: The orb was not being properly removed on the home screen when going into a menu
