Added a parallax layer to make things feel less static, and it speeds up briefly when you or SAM-Y make a clear above a certain size. #playdate

This was just supposed to be a video of SAM-Y getting mad about having tiles stolen, but it turned into a video of SAM-Y doing the same thing to me but four times worse. #playdate

“But who uses iPhones anymore?", you say. "What if I want to play this game on my #Playdate, and what if instead of a generic CPU it was against SAM-Y from Shift?”

I hear you. "Four Corners: Square Up" - coming at some point.

(This is SAM-Y playing, not me.)

Things in the iOS version of Four Corners that are different from the #playdate version:

- There are specials that become the color you started on.
- There are specials that reduce the board to two colors.
- After level 10, a fourth color is introduced.
- You can choose which color to bomb.

An updated game play video for Backbeat - I'm using the compact kit and play the same groove on Normal and Fast difficulties. #playdate

I've made a ton of UI updates to the main menu and its subviews, added a fifth drum kit and they now swap out in real time to make previewing them nicer.

Cleaned up the text in the logo and separated the words into their own assets to animate them independently.

"Back" jumps a little bit after "Beat", and the amount that it jumps is directly related to the volume of the note.

Added some additional visual/audio feedback when you're doing well, AND figured out a work-around for the input lag I was noticing when the game was connected to Mirror.
