Hey there,
Thanks for the reply.
At this moment AD does not work properly, maybe it's just on my part, though I've activated both upgrades and I'm not sure what else I can do.
I've also checked again if Spirit is drained when the settings menu is open and you were right - the game is paused at this time. However, pressing the space bar unpauses it so I guess this was my issue :D
Typical layer 8 problem I guess.
I'd love to help with a map, is there a link to this community you can share?
