Release 0.4.0.125!
Apparently I'm making a habit of yearly releases. Better late than never though? This version I am very excited to announce a built-in random level generator!

Gameplay:
- New Weapons
- Rocket Jumper - Utilize explosions as mobility!
- Cycler - Change your active character!
- Overall increases to game speed and gravity forces.
- Grapple hook now uses mouse to aim. Let me know what you think of this!
- Grapple hook physics tweaks.
- Grapple will now reset any pending fall damage.
- Character sliding now better respects slopes:
- Characters now explode when they die, and can hurt other characters.
- Can now move the game camera while holding Right or Middle mouse buttons.
- UI now tells you how many uses the current weapon you're using has left.
Visuals:
- New weapon sprites for: Mine, teleporter, air strike
