Added point gain, health gain, and health loss sound effects and point animations.
Game scoring mechanics have been rebalanced to better reward a player for continuing to stack their towers to new heights. This includes a hidden combo system indicated by tonal increased in the score sound effect as the combo progresses. Combos are reset by laying a trick lower than your previous max height and by breaking things.
Implemented an HTML5 detection to bypass asking for player's name for leaderboards when player is playing via web. Also implemented a message to let web players know leaderboards don't seem to function in HTML5 for some reason. This problem seems to only occur once the game is uploaded to itch. Testing via my local browser works?
Fixed a minor bug causing break checks to not occur during very specific instances.
