TUTORIAL STUFF

I guess my recent changes weren't enough. Fine, you win, here ya go:

• WHAT IS NOW SKIPPABLE:

  • the "that's the basics!" popup asking if you want to skip some tutorials now skips lots more of them.

  • when returning to SETUP for the first time, it'll ask you if you want to go through all of the SETUP / RESEARCH menu explanation.

• WHAT WILL NEVER BE SKIPPABLE:

  • "The Basics" (Wave 1-6): Being a GG1 player does not mean you already know about moving Genes or Storage because they're mechanics new to the sequel. It's literally just the first 6 waves, I don't need to make some completely separate tutorial flow just because you're already familiar with adding DNA.

  • Evolution menu explanation: not pointed out anywhere else and very easy to miss if you don't know about clicking weapon names during a run. Nothing in-game indicates this feature exists.

  • Doubletime explanation: also not pointed out anywhere else. You're invincible during it and all Microbes die when it ends, it can't harm you.

  • Enzyme explanation: Single popup explaining what they do in CHECKLIST - brand new mechanic to Genome Guardian 2.

  • Various Other One-Time Popups: Not every popup is a "tutorial", man. For real, just because there's a popup explaining a new mechanic unlocked by beating the story doesn't mean you've been in the tutorial the entire time you've been playing. Sometimes the game is just telling you a feature exists, it's not "hand-holding".

🔨 FIXES

• MANY things specific to "The Abyss Approach" (boss attempt) dive - I lost track of them but I've addressed everything I was aware of including a number of potential softlocks.

• some other stuff too I forget... it's all kind of a blur honestly, hectic launch, doin' my best.
