Thank you for the advice and for trying out our submission!
We became aware of the litany of bugs almost a day or so after submission and due to personal time constraints, I wasn't able to code some bandaid solutions until today, haha. I have patched out some critical bugs (the northern barrier was turned off by mistake when testing something else, and the nightmare-ish bug where the music beam sounds and people + poLICE despawned synced into a jumpscare were among some of the most reported problems and hopefully fixed) but I'm not sure if I should include a couple of features due to trying to be "in the spirit" of the Jam. I've opted to remove the esc key crashing the game though because I have no idea why I coded the game to do that.
As for the menus, I think this new version will prevent players from messing with the camera again lol
Thank you again!
