Changes

• PLEASE UPDATE YOUR LEVELS THAT RELIE ON THE PLAYER BEING INSIDE OF BLOCKS! These glitches will stop working soon. Use the new gravity block with "no legs" mode.
  
• Levels using the old fling glitch with the same block around the start and finish are now automatically getting updated to use a gravity zone instead.
  
• Changed sliding physics for "no legs" mode to better match the behavior of the old glitch.
  
• Fixed bug with jumping in no legs mode accumulating endless speed.
  
• Fixed group and lock buttons sometimes not working.
  
• Fixed object getting created while changing the snapping sliders.
  
• Fixed objects moving when cloning (again).
  
• Fixed a crash that could happen if preview image data is corrupted.
  
• Fixed grapple getting attached to the wrong surface if inside another block and one of them is animated.

One more!

This bug was only affecting you if you were using a controller or a steam deck user.

When you died and hit the retry button, you'd restart and then the death animation would play again, but you wouldn't be dead, and you couldn't leave the room, so you had to restart again. huh. weird.

So that's fixed now!

Have a nice weekend!
