Update 0.5.5 - Laser Sword and More

Hello,

Super excited to publish this update! I improved the design of Gladiator and gave each character their own unique weapon and attack patterns. The goal is to differentiate them more from each other and make them feel better to play.

I also added dashboards below each zone's description with your best times with every character (alongside some new achievements and unlockable items!).

The game is going to undergo a lot of changes in the next months. I have tons of ideas that’ll hopefully enhance its uniqueness and make it more enjoyable while keeping its core gameplay. So stay tuned for that!

Special thanks to “DrFenouil” (1), “Giragnoulak” (2), Papnix (3) and kirakirby (4) for their suggestions!
