sliding down and running off slopes now fully function with magnets. Now that magnet physics are mostly complete, I can start working on cooler stuff (like an ost demo :o)

Reworked sliding so that it has advantages over running now. Basically with the power of mag-lev BS there is now zero friction when you slide, and you get twice the acceleration down slopes, so with a good combo of running and sliding you can reach some crazy speeds.

I made a boost pad which is fine or whatever but I also discovered new tech i accidentally made!!! if you dash you can redirect all you're horizontal velocity the other way, so you can build a bunch of speed by just chaining slopes.

New magnet dash thingy visuals/collisions. Gonna be struggling to not cram one bajillion of these things in every level I have way too much fun playtesting this part.

New collectable!!!(mind the placeholder image) I'm hoping to have these be incentive for the player to interact with/learn level mechanics and maybe restore health. Also I have to lock in and make them something not generic like coins/gems/hearts.
