Content
- Added player death and a game over screen with statistics
- Added Piercer skill
  - Blue
  - Forks when the projectile pierces an enemy
- Added Ricochet skill
  - Yellow
  - Bounces on walls
- Added Paint Spray skill
  - Blue
  - Shotgun-like projectile spray
  - 10% chance on kill to gain a blue cubit
- Implemented cubits , which are tiny cubes that orbit the player
  - Each color of a cubit represents a different buff
  - Currently a maximum of 3 red, yellow, and blue cubits
  - Cubits last 10 seconds
  - Currently only blue has a buff
    - every blue cubit grants 0.2 additional movement speed
- Implemented further enemy scaling, including spawn time and spawn amount
  - Every level up, the the spawn interval lowers by 0.2 seconds
    - Should probably make this scale exponentially
  - Every 3 levels, the maximum spawn count is increased
  - Every 4 levels, the minimum spawn count is increased
- Implemented critical hits
  - Player has a base critical hit chance of 5
  - Player has a base critical damage of 150%
  - Critical hits are calculated after damage effectiveness
  - Additionally, modified damage popup numbers to show when a crit happens
Bug Fixes
- Prevented any white damage taken from starting the internal cooldown that happens when a primary color damage type has been taken
- Fixed the enemy spawner from generating a random amount of enemies at the start of game launch, but not during every iteration of spawning
Notes
- With the addition of unique behaviors such as "blue cubit on kill", there needed to be a way to modify chances of things happening within projectile instantiation - which lead to 2 more projectile overloads with a special behavior values list and a special behavior index list
- With the addition of critical hits, the modifier list that is passed through support calculations and tier calculations needed to be modified accordingly
- The name cubit was originally going to be "charge", as in power charges from Path of Exile, but I decided to make my own name stemming from Cuboid.
