Kritter Demo Update (v0.7.230608)

Okay guys, after playtesting the game in Feddback Quest #4 we had a lot of work to do.
Mostly improve the user experience, how the info are brought to the player and fix a ton of bugs.

As usual, patch notes are not the most interesting things to read so let me highlight you some of the key new features:

• A beautiful and fully reworked Terrain during the runs and for the Start Screen
• Reworks UIs and addition of other players healthbar in multiplayer
• The Kritter now dies with a Ragdoll effect, and that's awesome
• The game can be played with a wide screen and won't burn you graphic card anymore. + a 50 to 100% performance gain in runs.

After a month of hard work, I'm super proud of the result and I hope you will enjoy this new version. We still have a lot to do but you are helping us so much to do so by testing the game. Thank you so much <3

It's now time for the ...
