- Added 7 new colour palettes to unlock, with 8 presets per palette.

- Player ship colour changes if you set the background to the same colour (and vice versa) so you can't accidentally hide the ship and menu text.
- Added more options for random name generator.

- Added icon to go straight to Extras menu from 'game over' screen.

- Buttons cannot be spammed during transitions when you instigate a level load.
- The correct icon is now selected when you press 'down' from the 'Back' icon in the Extras menu.
