New results screen, better ranking system, cool visual improvements and some minor career mode enhancements!

Each level now ends with a results screen which breaks your score down into boxes, combos and all that extra stuff. It builds up with a pretty bar graph and Fat Sensei gives it their stamp of approval... or disapproval! There may be a secret grade if you fall well, well below their standards...

A new ranking system is based on per-level player data, instead of algorithms. The algorithmic approach didn't work for some of the more unique levels, and the new system has also been tuned to be gentler for levels in the two introductory areas, so new players won't be discouraged by low grades.

There are some visual improvements such as an outer-space background for outdoor cutscenes, and a smudgy effect for the chalkboards.

Career mode now gives some better feedback as your approach or reach your goal! I was worried people wouldn't understand what the mode is about, so hopefully now it's clear you're trying to reach and clear the boss level. There are also hints shown below the levels, and more advanced hints are shown as you progress through the game.

There are also a lot of small bugfixes, including some rotation bugs on the level "One Step Ahead", and a bug where especially hungry red sharks would sometimes eat an entire tetromino or pentomino by themselves. Leave some for the rest of us, you guys!!
