Dev Log: Mar 8th

Notes: HUGE balance pass - things should scale better as the waves go on, and feel faster-paced. Especially worth noting is the tweak to move speed; Agility scales less than before, but the base speed has been increased to compensate. This, along with the adjustment to friction, should ensure movement feels better at every level. New character and weapons as well, plus more bug fixes.  Read the full patch notes below:

-Fixed accuracy calculation - now scales properly with high stats
