Zen Mode, Controls Update, and Small Facelift

Bloxi: The Word Game
A downloadable word-game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

We updated Zen Mode now such that the blocks only fall when you press down.  Making it even more Zen instead of having to worry about pausing and unpausing; so naturally we also removed the Pause button at all from Zen Mode.  

We also did a complete overall haul of the controls on the back end, the end result is that we were able to implement a system where you can hold the buttons down to keep performing a given action instead of tapping them over and over again.  Let us know what you think about this!  Should they move faster or slower when you hold it down for a given direction or rotation?

We also game the game a facelift until our artist can help us with the final look and feel.

Thanks for being on this journey with us!!
