v1.34.0.2 release - Ship selection menu improvements and BZ1 updates

A new update has been released for BlastZone 2! (v1.34.0.2) The primary updates in this release are improvements to the ship selection menu. Now, the next and previous ships are displayed at the top of the screen in a muted form with their shortened names. This visualizes the full roster of ships to choose from, while keeping the currently highlighted ship more prominent. The color of the currently selected ship and arrow selectors has been changed to yellow as well to maintain a consistent color scheme across all menus. The local multiplayer ship selection screen has been updated as well with similar updates to color and ship list.

This update also makes a few changes to BlastZone 1, upgrading it to v1.4. This includes a fix for a rapid fire laser exploit and slightly reduced enemy speed.

This update includes a few smaller updates as well. Here are the full release notes for v1.34.0.2:
