Repeated intro
Hello friends! Highlights for this release include backflips (jump out of a skid to cancel momentum), an umbrella glider (slower falling), and a stat screen.

Hot Dog Reporter changes
Added backflip - jumping while skidding cancels forward momentum and provides extra height and acceleration, useful for quick turnarounds. Thanks to shovelclaws for the suggestion!
Skidding can now also be triggered while sliding so it’s possible to backflip out of a slide
Added umbrella glider - 25% fall speed while active. Default control is holding X (Xbox controller), but it may eventually get swapped with Platform Drop (Left Trigger) by default.
Increased double jump height to match regular jump height (from 85% to 100%)
Removed some platforms in 003
Added Stats screen
Added camera constraints to level 011, preventing it from panning away from the moving platforms if you jump too high during the first leg of the level
Fixed some issues with getting stuck in geometry after crouching/sliding
Reverted double jump collision behavior - shrinking the collision box on double jump had very few beneficial use cases and introduced a lot of visual bugs and physics complications
New, more flexible scene transition system
Changed focused button backgrounds to red to make focus state more obvious
Fixed a couple of incorrect empty time displays (--:--:-- instead of –:--.--)
Made some text wiggle on the level end screens
Increased player collision safe margin from 0.1px to 0.2px, should fix the stuck corner bug???
