GAME UPDATE! v1.1

Hello everyone! For my last game submission for my Intro to Game Development class, I've decided to polish this game and fix a few things here and there as I am really proud of this game but had to rush a few things when I submitted this game for Game 3. This update will list all the improvements and changes that I've made to the game since then!

Fixes:

• When rivers are spawned multiple times in a row, they now alternate directions instead of its direction being randomly chosen.
• Fixed bug where the player would lose randomly by collision of car, even though they weren't stepping on the road prior to the collision.
• Every time the Grass terrain is spawned, obstacles will always either spawn on the odd or even tiles.
• Fixed bug where the time on the HUD would flash red, even if the time was over 30 seconds.
• Fixed bug with character where the idle animation would only play once instead of looping.
• Fixed bug where a point will be given if the game ended while you were moving forward.

Changes:

• Cleaned up game code for a slight game performance increase.
• In order for your high score to be recorded, you must survive the whole timer. Due to this change, the starting time will be 1.5 minutes instead of 3 minutes.
• Bonus time will also only give you 10 seconds instead of 15 seconds.
• New menu looks, now has good looking buttons! :D
• The controls tutorial screen is now separated from the story sequence, so that it shows even if the story is skipped or not.

Added:

• Time Pickups will now add 20 seconds to the timer if Double Time is active.
• The story is now skippable.
• Your High Score is now saved even after you close the game.
• Confirmation screens when returning to the main menu, clearing your save data, and quitting the game appears when the corresponding button is clicked.
• Stats screen that tracks total games played, as well as the games won and lost. Also tracks how many pickups you've collected and your longest survival time (which is only updated when you win)

Removed:

• Mouse input controls, because they felt really weird!

You can see all these new UI changes attached to this update post!
