Repeated intro

Hey we did it again. We realized that online scores system would only work for 2015 so we were forced to update the game once again... So we used it as an excuse to improve a few things. Yay! ːsteammockingː :health_powerup: We added button tags. We were very surprised that not many people played the FREE TOURNAMENTS. Which is strange we as have very cool prizes and very enjoyable game modes. Maybe people didn't know about them as it didn't say anywhere the word "TOURNAMENT". :health_powerup: Gameplay: Sectors 2,3, 4 and 5 are more interesting to play. Before they used to be, for some players, stages that they had to go through to get to the real fun game, for expert players they weren't much of a challenge. :health_powerup: We also made some small tweaks in the power-ups system. :health_powerup: We updated some vortices'graphics and some really tiny tweaks in player ships. :health_powerup: RETRO MODE: It has been made more accessible and authentic. We added the retro mode button in the main menu. Previously it was hidden in options. Note about this mode: "Retro mode" in Vortex Attack changes the textures, transitions between stages, removes all modern hints and changes other effects. It changes the feeling of the game but, in reality, the game-play remains the same as the non-retro. So you can play and score for hi-scores or tournaments. :levelup_powerup: Beware! We will find a bug somewhere and we will end up upgrading again. Until then.... have happy blasting away all those minions and scoring high! ːsteamhappyː
