Its been awhile! I was busy working fulltime, it was necessary, to remain not homeless. I got some small things done in that time, but not enough that I felt like uploading/publishing. I currently, have a lot more time to work on the game again. 

Anywho, here's some changes since the last version that was uploaded here.

Fixed stuttering falling bug.

There's a menu ingame now, so you can go back to the main menu. I'm not sure if this was in the last version uploaded, but if it was, it didn't work very well, as the key was escape, which is mapped to free the mouse/disable fullscreen in the webGL player, and was causing heaps of issues. So now its mapped both to escape, and tab. 

There's a button on the main menu to show the controls, since I found no one scrolls down to read the controls on the itch page, and many players did not realize they could slow time, or crouch, or zoom, or had multiple weapons, or could double jump.

There is music now! I added a couple tracks from Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio. I'm not sure if I'll keep it, or try to make my own at some point, but a lot of development was done with his music playing, (this playlist specifically) so its kind of been the unofficial soundtrack for awhile, atleast for me. It is all copyright free/royalty free/free just with attribution. Currently, it is attributed in game in the options menu next to the music toggle, which also, now exists.

There is a level 4 now. I'm not at all happy with it currently, and will likely redo it from scratch. But it does exist, and similarly, the scientist you are rescuing is there, and you will fail if you kill him. It doesn't really feel too exciting or interesting at the moment though. Atleast, not to me.

Oh also, I don't think anyone knew this was a thing, but occasionally I forgot to disable the ability for the player to noclip before I compiled the game, but I fixed it so that noclipping will always be disabled when the game is compiled. So if anyone accidentally hit V instead of C, and started flying and passing through walls, that wont be an issue anymore.

The end of level 3 was updated awhile ago, so  there's a couple sneaky paths added to get into level 4.

I think thats it. Like I said, I did work on it while I was working full time too, but I didn't finish a lot of those things, and also, I scrapped a lot of that work, so, maybe I'm forgetting something. Maybe not.
