The final thing I've been wanting to add before leaving early access is a rebinding implementation. Now, it's done: gamepad buttons and keyboard buttons can be bound to actions like jump or set checkpoint. There's reall…

Small fix, big effect?
I've always been adamant that invert Y camera was the only way to play, so much so that I made it the default in my game. But of course I realize that I'm in the minority, so the very first thing you do in the tutorial…
