Sonic Runner v2.0.1

2.0.1 STRAIGHT DOWNGRADE / UNBESTED

• We at HowDoesOneName inc. were notified that the "Sonic Runner Best Version" breaches something called "Copyright Law", this means, as we were told, we need to remove a lot of the new content from 2.0.B to prevent our imminent demise. Oops!
• These patch notes document a lot changes from the previous update as well, the guy we hired to make them last time did a terrible job.

GENERAL

• License moment
• Removed copyrighted material
• Removed mod support related code
• The folder where the savefile, user levels, replays and other is stored. To move your old save so the game can load it, do this: First launch the game, then when you get to the title screen, close it. Then go to your AppData folder, into Roaming/HowDoesOneName, and move SRLevels, SRReplays, sonicRunner, sonicRunnerEditor to a folder just named SR. You can delete sonicRunnerMods.
