🗺️ Level Selection Menu Improvements

The level selection menu has been upgraded with:

• Per-level statistics to easily track performance
• A visual progression system to better represent how far the player has advanced

🎯 Goal Indicator on the Exit Tile

A new objective indicator now appears on the goal tile, showing how many coins are required before reaching it. This helps guide players without needing to check manually. This indicator only appears when the player gets close to the exit tile, ensuring the information is helpful without cluttering the screen.

📈 Progress Indicator Above the Player

When the player grabs a coin, a small progress indicator appears above the character, showing how many coins remain — no need to walk back to the goal tile to know your progress.

🏁 “Reach the Goal” Message

Once all coins are collected, a clear “Reach the Goal” message pops up, making the objective instantly obvious.

🔊 New Immersion Sounds

Several new sound effects were added to reinforce feedback, atmosphere, and overall immersion.

💤 Player Idle Animation

The player now plays a dedicated idle animation when not moving, giving the character more life and personality.

🏃 Player Animation Improvements

General improvements were made to the player's animations to make movement feel smoother and more expressive.

🌿 New Decorative Elements (WIP)

Various environment decorations have been added to the levels. This is still a work in progress but helps bring more atmosphere and identity to the world.

💾 Improved Save System

The save system has been reworked to be more stable, more reliable, and less prone to errors, ensuring accurate progression tracking.
