Logo updates (Liquid glass and fix to the bootup icon)
Bug fixes (Fixed leaderboard items scrollbars, optimizations)

Ported game to portmaster (why not)
The game crashes on load due to portmaster not having a port for godot 4.5, however the game should automatically function as soon as that drops

Matched all the changes in extension (had to do it manually do to pr rules)

Fixed bugs and removed unused files in main stream
TODO: Make sure the changes are reflected in the branch

Decorated the scene with more plants and detail, zoomed the camera to be more in the scene, made the water have a more swampy look

Finally figured out how to connect to the next scene (used an invisible html button)
Decorated the scene to be more in line with the theme (I tried adding piranha plants, but they took too much storage)

Created scene, connected signals, implemented the hover and click events, installed to the html and js, still trying to figure out how to properly link to the next scene

I forgot to mention in the last devlog that I designed the tilemap
- Made the permanent focus detection system (It checks if the cursor is within an area to toggle passthrough)
- Connected the player to an animation tree and made the jump/crouch inputs (I couldn't show the jump in the video because that input is shared with the testing inputs I used for game end/reset)

- Made the game start and finish systems

Made a temporary patch for clicking the dino to start the game
