New content:

• Added default dash:
  • it is weaker and doesn't grant immunity frames, so it cannot be used to go through enemies and spikes
  • Silver Locket allows dashes to have immunity frames
  • characters that had dashes with immunity frames before this update will still have them
• Overhauled second campaign:
  • now has its own tileset art, backgrounds and stage-specific music
  • tilesets show different names when appearing in second campaign to accompany this
  • "Start from Level 11" is now named "Second Campaign Mode", properly uses post-Doctor's tileset rotation and gives double health to player to compensate for harder enemies at the start
• Added Experimental Resource Pack (or "aspermental") as package-in:
  • it includes resprites and reimaginations of game's assets by AsperDev, that clash with current art style
  • feedback on how it fits and how good it is will be appreciated
