Changes made post-jam:

Version 1.0.1:

- A hall of fame screen has been added to showcase the best time achieved during the jam voting period

- Best time can now be seen on the start screen after having beating the game for the first time

- Speed builds up more gradually now, thus making minor adjustments easier

- All speed is lost upon dying, thus making it not possible to die due to it taking too long to slow down

- Sfx have been added to parts of the game that lacked them

- The tricky climb right after pressing the green button has been made slightly easier

- Jump buffering has been added

Version 1.0.2:

- Added the profile picture of the person to achieve the best time during the jam voting period to the hall of fame
