Rat Memory

FIXES

• Character won't have a bad time exiting the water anymore.
  
• Character allign with the ground in a more realistic way.
  

GENERAL

• Added an intro cutscene to the third demo level so now you can remember where are the rats that you have to find
  

NEW CONTENT

• Working in the new level, probably the last one. Prepare to climb your way to the finish, overcoming a true challenging level that will test your platforming skills. I'm still evaluating if it will be 2D or 3D.
  

GENERAL

ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS

• I added an option to change the speed of the game, so you can have more time to make your jumps and decisions.
  
  
• You can also set it to be higher if you think the game is too easy.
  
  
  
• I added an option to change the rat color to some with a high contrast.
  
  You may not need it, but it taught me how to add character customizations, so you should expect this option in the game.
  

OPTIMIZATION

• I optimized the fur, it should be 6 times less demanding.
