Hey ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

I've been working away on a new game mode and wanted to share more on it today. A new endless rogue-lite mode has been added to the game. This will have limited availability in the demo, but you can still try it out!

--- New feature: Endless mode
- Clear endless randomly generated levels in an arcade rogue-like game mode!
- Levels reuse existing campaign mode levels but with entirely generated waves
- Choose a soda hero to play for the run
- Swap weapons by picking up new weapons in the level
- Acquire character upgrades for the run by leveling up through collecting money
- Don't like an upgrade? reroll it!
- Get score bonuses for taking no damage or beating the level quickly
- Endless mode uses separate save files from campaign mode
- Soda Hero unlock challenges
- High scores are recorded into leaderboards: Global and by soda hero
- Unlock more weapons and upgrades in runs with accumulating score over runs

If you have ideas or feedback for endless mode please share them here or on the Discord!
