I thought it might be a one-time issue, but the essence distribution seems to be bugged.
After you complete a chapter or die, your power is converted into essence, and there’s a visible bar showing how much essence you’ve gained.
On my first run of this new version, I got around 1500 power, which should have converted into about 30 essence or more. However, after reincarnating, the game showed that I only had 1 essence.
I thought it might be a one-time issue, but that wasn’t the case. On my second run, I died early and should have gotten 5 essence, but when I reincarnated, the menu showed only 2.
I’m not sure if this bug only affects the browser version or not, but I wanted to try out the new time warp feature, and grinding for it might be impossible in this state.
I love this game and even wishlisted it on Steam. I hope my review can help improve the game, as I really want to fully play it when the full release comes out.
Cheers, and thank you for this amazing game!
