------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW FEATURES :
- New massive option menu that replaces key config screen. No longer mandatory before game start.
- Options are saved between plays.
- Lost hit points indicated over VGirl after a hit.
- Tutorial is renamed "practice". Main game now contains a mini-tutorial (doing practice is still advised).
- Can configure "power level", a value saying how powerful Victory Girl is, totally freely from 10% to 200% ( which is equivalent to changing difficulty ).
- Power level affects score : less powerful = more points.
- Life and power bar shine red more and more as they empty, warning you when low on health or power.
- Can configure SFX and Music volume
- New control mode with MouseWheel and one key ("selection mode")
- A few new special effects
- Size of file reduced with better compression

Laptop + transports or other places inconvenient to draw = code progress!
This was done in little steps since the last update, and little by little, a bunch of stuff added up...
But as you see, there is technically not that much new stuff : it's more polishing what existed.

The engine, from a totally "programmer" perspective, is slowly closing completion.
Okay, I still have quite a few ideas for improvements, but the heavy backbone is now firmly there.

This is good news, as it means I should be able to focus more on the plot and the art from now on, which is probably what you anticipate the most.

This update is mostly not an art update, except for a few new special effects. It is mostly... an option update!

You now have a pretty massive option screen, to customize difficulty, sound and controls.
It takes a little time to set the game up, but once it's done, your config is saved and remains when you come back, so take the time to configure the game!

The new "selection" control mode uses the mouse wheel with one key in order to use all superpowers (except good old heat vision, always with mouse).
The old control system, with one key per superpower is still available, and called "multikey mode". I still advise this one if you can handle it, in order to have all powers available at any time.

CAREFUL : Selection mode is now the control method by default, since it is in theory more beginner-friendly, if you want multikey mode, which is like previous versions, go into options.

Making all those options affect the game properly did take some time. The worse was the tutorial (now renamed "practice") which basically changes depending on the selected control mode now!

I tried to use the remarks from the previous beta testing the best I can for deciding those new features, and I hope all those tweaks will improve your superheroine experience. :D

I am still open to any suggestion, remark or critique. In fact I encourage those to make the game even better and more user friendly (at least in the limits of my ability) !
If you spot a behavior you think is a bug, please report it!

how do you make that in-game menu?, also could you make a pause screen by clicking the p btn on the keyboard? i know the enter btn function is the same but still, it could bring a sound section to mute... also the secondary abilties ,could you make it able to change them by the numbers? like 1,2,3,4,5,6? if you want a reson here's why, take me for an example i'm using a macbook,laptop and i don't have the scroll ability becouse im using an pad, of course some laptops have a scroll at the side's of the pad but only 1/4 part of all the laptops have them that means 1/4 (if you take with those people which have a mouse) of the people don't have the ability to scroll but also some mouse's dont have a wheel applied to them (and there is pretty many of those becouse people always but the cheapest all the time). well thats it i guess.

I'm sorry about my long and un-readable letters,try decoding them.

Change control to selection mode and then configure keys as you want. You can change pause to P and have keys for secondary abilities... you just have to spend a second to go into options and set things up.
