Regarding the bugs:
- The magical genie only has a small chance of appearing in WORLD 1, so he's not supposed to be there always.
- Noted. Edit: I tried to duplicate the issue but I can't collect the first two artifacts after banishing Aimari, only the third one, so no key for me
- Do you delete your save via the reset person in WORLD 1, or do you do it manually in the game's folder? When I delete it manually it lets me pick hints turned on or not.
- Noted.
- Noted.
- Yes, Aimari is supposed to stop you before you reach the ORB.
Thanks for bringing these to my awareness.
