So, while I was trying to guide the beast, I used my first ability and jumped at the same time, which froze the game.
It does NOT help that the game doesn't autosave, so I had to start everything all over again!

Shoot I completely forgot about autosave... I normally have the game autosave after each upgrade but I added the save system last minute this time and it slipped my mind to add that. Really sorry you had to start over, def not intended at all.
As for the initial freeze though, I can't recreate that at all. You should be perfectly able to jump and use the aura ability at the same time. Could you give some more details about what else was happening when it froze? Were the beast or platforms in range when you toggled the ability?

Yeah, sorry, I'm not having any success recreating it. If anything like it happens again, could you give a screenshot of what it looks like when it freezes?
As far as saving goes, you can manually save at any time by quitting to the menu - it'll place you back in the exact room you were in when you reload. I know it's a bit hacky to have to do that regularly, but doing it after major milestones should prevent any progress loss. I'll def make sure to fix upgrades not autosaving the game once the ratings period is over.
Thank you, this was helpful, I was able to reproduce the bug now! It seems like its specific to the browser version which is why I didn't catch it - theres some kind of crash related to playing the enemy's sound effects, seems like it's caused by trying to unpause their animation at a specific point. Will see if I can fix this for a postjam update.
