PlayStation 4 version launching soon!

I apologize for the lack of updates in a while, I've been hard at work on adding support for a PlayStation 4 version, and with that nearly wrapped up, you can soon look forward to an influx of new opponents in online games! Also to help find opponents for online games, this update brings with it Discord integration.

Discord Integration

• Add Discord Rich Presence supporting sharing game details and inviting over Discord
• Launched an Official Discord Server for Splody and Dashing Strike - gather here to say "hi" or coordinate some multiplayer games!
• The Discord Server includes a bot that can notify whenever there are people in a public game looking for more players.

Major Features and Fixes

• Cross-platform multiplayer features to handle the upcoming PlayStation 4 release
• Significant performance enhancements - greatly reduced the performance impact of large levels and Bot players. Not sure who wants to play on a level with thousands of tiles and 64 Bots, but now you can!
• Loading/start-up time enhancements
• New Option: "TV Safe Area" for keeping the important part of the UI within the visible part of the screen
• New Option: "Subtle" power-up sounds (suggested by FireVisor)
• New Option: Play on (or start) servers which do not allow UGC (user-made levels or user-entered server names)
• New Feature: Allow other players to force a match to start if the room leader is being unreasonably slow
• New Feature: Ability to report offensive user-made levels and player names
• Level Editor: Add graphics scheme preview and Delete option
• Add graphical hints about controller or keyboard hotkeys to almost every screen, so it is clear you can press a button/key to exit a menu, etc
• Add appropriate in-game icons when using PlayStation-family controllers on PC
• Add filtering by platform (Steam / PlayStation 4) on the in-game leaderboards
• A whole bunch of other small fixes and polish

Hope you have a blast!
