Goblin Runner 1.08

This patch was a doozy! I initially worked on the pause feature but didn't think that was enough to warrant a new version so I started work on the scimitar weapon which took a bit, especially with the weapon angle. I'd like to thank @bawkachoy, @pixelbob, and @pomelizard88 on the frequent feedback on game balance and what "feels good." I wanted to have the user purchase the characters which initially worked until the game loaded and I was pulling hairs trying to implement it but I made the executive decision to push the version without the purchase function because fun will always outweigh features.

I had a ton of fun trying to add a scimitar weapon and I learned some things along the way, which you might be seeing implemented as a new weapon. Please enjoy this patch as I prepare to create a new stage that will last longer because some of the more hard core members of our community are itching for a REAL challenge. Again, thank you for playing my game <3

1.08

Major:

Added a pause feature! Hit enter or esc to pause the game.

Added character selection! I wanted to make this a gold sink but the save function was really buggy so I'll scrap it until I can fix it.

The initial cast includes:

• Jolt
• Kyle
• Hero
• Lord Lapu

Added a level selection screen! Ramping up for a new stage. Please look forward to new maps, I know players have been itching to push past the 5 minute mark.

New weapon: Scimitar!

Slice up your foes with a short-ranged, multi slash. For experts!
