changedFIXES:Climbing on vines and chains should do less Weird Stuff if the game lags For a long time we've had an issue where, on rare occasion, a chain launcher could fire a chain that was so buggy that it would crash entire runs. We've dragged our feet on a fix for this because unfortunately neither us nor our QA team have been able to reproduce the issue. This patch introduces a bunch of refactor work to the chains and vines that we THINK will fix the bug, but if it still happens to you, please reach out at support@aggrocrab.com or on discord. This also makes vine/chain climbing framerate-independent, because we realized it wasn't. That means this WHOLE time, the speed at which you climbed chains and vines was dependent on your FPS. This is a cardinal sin for any game developer and very embarrassing for us. points at sign reminding that this whole game was originally a 1 month game jam You may notice that you go really fast on the vines, we hope to balance it better but just wanted to get this fix out!

changedFIXES:The "rope storage" exploit has been brought back. Real PEAK heads will know what this means. Sorry, sometimes we just see a bug and we fix it, and then only after the fact realize the community wants us to leave it in. In this case, we're happy to! See? We listen!!
