• Character selection screen
• Instructions screen
• Local multiplayer, up to two for now
• Shields (regenerating portion of health)
• New projectile type: Bullet, collides target transferring movement
• Missile redesign (no longer looks like "ice cream cone")
• New "easy" phase, for slower difficulty ramp
• Changed some sound effects
• Added two background music tracks
• Added background music transitions between phases
• Updated to Bevy 0.10.0
