Minor update!


I've made some quality-of-life changes to GNARLED HAG in version 1.5 as well as some bug fixes.

Changes:

-Title screen menu! An actual normal title screen! Wow! 

-Options menu! Here's where you'll toggle fullscreen, as well as changing the window size. You can also set the crouch key to toggle (if you don't like having to hold down the down arrow key for long periods of time).

-Onomatopoeia Mode! If you have difficulty with listening for the direction/volume/quality of the footstep sounds, this mode will give you on-screen indicators of where the the Hag's sounds are coming from as well as what type of sounds they are.

-Revamped tutorial! Not a huge difference, but a fair bit better than the single image before the game proper starts. A small room with no threats that lets you play around with the controls (will also show you gamepad controls if you are using one).

-The TV can be turned on now! It's an effective distraction for the Hag if she's lurking around an area that you need to get to. Don't use it to mess around with her though, she'll catch eventually on.

//SPOILERS//

-In the ending segment where the child hits the Hag with the axe, after waiting for roughly 1 second a graphic will appear on screen telling you what button to hit, so no more last second panic/confusion leading to an unfair death at the finish line.

-A graphic will also appear indicating which direction to run to when making your escape.

Fixes:

-Unfortunately fixed a bug that was very useful for speedrunners where if you crouch below the axe while it's on the table you'll pick it up and skip to the Hag's current location. Check it out in the old build if you're curious!

-Fixed a minor graphical error, the child was supposed to breathe a sigh of relief when she manages to elude the Hag after being chased. A little chunk of an attempt at that was left in the code so under certain circumstances you'd see that face appear under the child's pupils.


Thank you so much to everyone for all the wonderful support and extremely helpful critiques!
