Have made few changes to the code, making it like x5 times faster on low end computers. Just had some very bad code I got rid of.

I see no problem making this into a full game. That was not the plan, but why not?

Good luck have fun!

New gamemode: The Dungeon
The new* (sort of)* gamemode is now done. You go up a floor every time you finish a level and go down a floor if you run out of hp.
Every time you touch the lava you lose 1hp (and it reverses 20 blocks), but every time you clear a level you get 1hp back.
(Did not have time to update the game because I was addicted to Factorio)

Shaders and GUI
Updated the GUI and added APM by pressing “t”.
Also added a shader, now the lava glows. YAY!

Optimization for lava
For a long time the lava was generated based on a grid of 1 and 0, 1 = lava, 0 = empty. The program ran from 1 to size of the grid to check the lava and its flow in the maze. This was a really slow progress and the fps was horrible.
I have now updated the system to a tilegrid solution that is based on a list of active lava tiles, tiles that should be updated. This keeps ~4 tiles in a list at all times making the game a lot faster.

New Gamemode: Endless + TouchScreen support
Replaces The Dungeon with endless because the Dungeon was a bit boring and had a lot of bugs. Endless is not really endless, but you have to climb ~1000 blocks on the y cordinate to win.
Also added touchscreen support, this also works on computers, but is not recomended because it makes the game a lot easier.
How to use: Guide the player with the mouse/finger to the end of the maze, this was inspired by Flaming Fingers.
