Second enemy added; will be giving both enemies their own models+projectiles+etc soon
for now, a beefier+faster version of the first enemy with 3 projectiles instead of 1 is in the game once you hit level 2

new weapon, beam gun. When you get extra projectiles it shoots multiple in quick succession
need to work on the VFX of everything, but its a good second weapon to add i think

People have said we're crazy for making a game like this, but we love it.
Ever level of Shroom and Gloom is created with 1000s of layers of illustrations. Don't think folks understand how fun it is to building a world this way!

This Godot quirk has given me so much grief. By default, nav maps update async. Which means when you load a scene, you have to wait an indeterminate number of frames before you can query the nav map. Even the map_changed signal is unreliable.
After disabling these, map_changed now works.
