Huzzah!
A new level select GUI has appeared (alongside a player loadout GUI) directly in the terminal!
This means you no longer need to learn keyboard commands to play the game. (The current command system is still intact, the GUI is built on top of it)
Also, I've improved the readability of -h commands in the terminal.
Added an "exit game" button to the bottom left of the Title Scene.
Bugfixes
Fixed a bug where the Frostbite cursor would cause the game to speed up after ending.
Fixed a bug where certain heavy enemies (Octos, and guardian cubes) would speed up to their minimum defined speed after being damaged (instead of simply staying the same speed.)

Fixed a bug introduced last patch where the sword cursor wouldn't work properly with auto-attack enabled
Bugfixes, QOL, and laying the groundwork for Survival
Fixed a bug where Timewarp cursor felt like it wouldn't trigger properly.

The tutorial song has been replaced with a digital wind ambiance.
Survival shop now displays as "Coming Soon!".
Optimized game file size by removing unnecessary audio files.

Fixed the tutorial to be more concise
Added auto-attack explanation to the tutorial
The tutorial now starts immediately at the beginning of the game (when starting for the first time) and leads directly to the title scene
