Thanks for your comment and the bug reports :) Did you by any chance sumbit the cheese as the second item? We found the bug right after submitting too.
I actually tried it a couple of times with different items: The noddle, the cheese and the fish head. I collected one and then kept dying to see if the counter would go up. But the bug happened every single time.
Thanks for pointing it out :D We unfortunally had no real time for playtesting and when we did encounter that bug it was way to late to fix it before the deadline :/ After the evaluation through the judges we will definitly fix that :)
