Patch 1.0.5

New patch! These will hopefully start slowing down with time. Just need to iron out all the tiny little issues ASAP to make the game as best as possible!

- Received some feedback that a tutorial could be cool, so today I worked on adding a tutorial (tutoreel)! This tutorial is replayable, and is located at a new spot on the map. The tutorial contains some new custom scenery, as well as a new fish to catch (and a veggie counterpart of course)!!

- Added some sound effects to the main menu when starting a new game. Difficulty selection has a sound now, and casting the hook on the title has a sound too

- I actually fixed the RowBot description this time, I swear!

- Added control prompts in the intro. This should hopefully make things more clear

- Harpoon is now controllable via d-pad! For now it's at a locked speed, but I may add a setting to tweak that.

- Tweaked the spawn rates of the more rare fish, in an effort to make them a little more common.

- Upped the speed on the Cracked Hook, which will hopefully make it a little less miserable to play with! (0.65 -> 0.8)


Thank you to everyone who has played the game, and also thank you to everyone who's already beaten the game!!

Congrats to tavi on being the first to beat the game on Fish Fear Me mode!
