v0.61: Fix Löve version in CI build

What's Changed

• Fix: Löve version in CI build by @RafaelWO in #19

Full Changelog: v0.6...v0.61

v0.6: Faster Gameplay, Ufo, LÖVE 11.3

This release brings faster gameplay, a Ufo as your friend in need, and upgrades the game to use the latest version of LÖVE (11.3)! 🎉

❗ EDIT: Please download the version v0.61 from the release above. ❗

⏩ Faster Gameplay

All player-ships + enemies move, and lasers travel at a higher speed. This change should make the gameplay more fun and challenging! 🏆
Additionally, the screen resolution was increased which results in more space in the level (and smaller entities, objects).

🛸 Ufo as Player Ally

Enemies drop a new powerup - a star ⭐ - which spawns a "friend in need" as a Ufo (starting from stage 2). It shoots in all directions and will stay until it is destroyed by enemies.

❤️ LÖVE 11.3

The code was adapted to run with the latest version of LÖVE that is 11.3 🥳 If you downloaded the game for Windows or macOS (and don't have LÖVE itself installed), simply download the new version.
If you have installed LÖVE 0.10.2, this is a breaking change 💥. So please upgrade to the latest version via the official website.

Happy gaming and Merry Christmas in advance! 🎁

v0.5: UI Enhancements, Ship Stats Balancing

💄 UI Enhancements

The players' health bar now changes color depending on the current health. When the health is low, the screen "breathes" in red.

The "arrows" « ... » in the select ship state are replaced with actual sprites ◀️ ▶️

📊 Ship Stats Balancing

The ship stats were adapted so that the different ships are more balanced:

• Classic: 🔼 health, 🔼 fire rate
• Shooter: 🔼 attack, 🔼 fire rate, 🔽 health
• Sniper: 🔼 health

💚 Fixed release pipeline

The script for building the game for release had a bug that caused some zip files to be huge, e.g. over 600 MB for Windows 64-bit. This bug is now fixed and all binaries are around 80 MB 🥳

💥 Breaking Change - Highscores

You might notice that your high scores are not shown in the new game version.

If you want to add your high scores from the previous version, do the following:

• Find the local save directory (see docs)
• Open the folder of the old version, e.g. space-love-v0_41
• Open the file highscores and copy its content to the corresponding file in the new save directory space-love

Happy shooting! 👾
