Update 0.9.25.8

We've been doing a lot of work on online multiplayer. It's coming... but first comes this update with a bunch of misc things:

New BotBattle mode where you can team up with 1-3 players to defeat bots in 7 progressively-more-challenging rounds.
Your cannons deathBeam will immediately explode your bombs. This minor tweak makes cannons much more valuable for advanced play.
Better resolution-handling especially for people on 2+ monitor setups.
Renamed reference button to library in an attempt to get people to notice it haha.
DualSense controller support and controller vibration settings.
Perfect hit if you swing/throw your sword at the moment it flashes white a bit of extra power.
Removed Race mode it would have taken a lot of work to polish this to being decent and there are already a bunch of great race-platformers out there. (The FlowCam camera controller lives on in other projects)
Some new level backgrounds.
Continuing tweaks on the QuickStart tutorial. Seems to be in a great place.
Tons and tons of little tweaks/fixes.

Finally, a 100% accurate bomb-swording simulator!
Unique, fast-paced 2-to-8 player couch-multiplayer game

Hit bombs with your sword, take over the level, and dominate your opponents!

Basics

Strike bombs with your sword to turn them your color
When a bomb's fuse runs out.. it explodes, creating a blast zone
What's a blast zone? It's an area that's dangerous for your opponents. Blast zones stick around, so..
.. you can use them to take over more-and-more territory... *or*, with expert timing, you can fling a just-about-to-explode bomb at a hapless opponent (We call that a snipe shot)
Eliminate all opponents to win the match!

What

Friendly for beginners (ages 7+)
Tuned for high-level competitive play
Controllers recommended but keyboard/mouse supported

Featuring

Fancy movement: jumps, bounces, dashes, recoil
Items: bombs, dynamite, cannons, and freezers (stops enemies in their tracks!)
Bomb hitting, sword throwing, explosion escaping, player-pushing-into-peril action
Devious trickery? Indeed
High skill ceiling
Teams! (Or alternatively: no teams!)
Competitive tutorial *AND* an in-game in-depth reference guide featuring videos and explanations of many of the mechanics!
