1 Year Anniversary, 4.0.5 changelog

Hi friends!

Today marks the one year anniversary since Windowkill’s major 3.0 launch on itch.io! Along with all the changes below, I’ve added a silly change to the “crown” skin for the anniversary only :)

Thanks as always for the continued support. It’s always a joy seeing people playing and streaming the game. <3
