Version 0.0.1, yippee!

Howdy y'all, this update focuses a lot on movement, Merwoah can now roll around town!

There were a lot of changes to Merwoah to make him hopefully feel better to play however, none of these changes should really affect you if you were used to the old movement system as most of them are just about leniency for player actions.

Another aspect of this update was Desert, hopefully now it's less frustrating to play with the cacti only hurting objects based on the spiked sides, it's also been modified slightly to give the player more points and make more use of rolling.

The final big part of this update is how score is finally kept track of and you can keep easy track of your time if you want to speed run levels. A timer will now appear when replaying a level. With scores and times be aware that if you refresh the game window they will be lost. I'll be working on saving that information in a future update.

Have fun and roll on!
