Flutter Bombs is out of Early Access!

A handful of changes and tweaks were made based on feedback from the community across all platforms where Flutter Bombs is available.

> Always go full nectar - It's pretty tough to run out of nectar now. Nectar was originally designed to be a restricted resource, but that concept took away from the fun of a shmup, so while nectar is needed for ammo, it lasts a long time.

> Consistency - several mechanics were difficult to understand, and have been tweaked to be more consistent. For example, at Wagtail's Swamp, all bubbles burst in the same way now so there's a clear indication of how to fight the boss.

> It's called 'shoot-em-up, not shoot-em-down' - One of the risks I took when creating this game was to find a way to create a depth-biased shmup that also allowed for play in a downward direction given the arena style gameplay. To accomplish this, I implemented a dynamic camera, and now this camera reacts much faster to accommodate players traveling toward the bottom of the screen/level so they have more reaction time.

> I thought you were integrating leaderboards into the game's interface? - I thought i was too, but ultimately couldn't manage to get a clean version of that UI working with the time i had available. Leaderboards are still functional through the steam interface in any case.
