Thank you for writing such an awesome comment, we really really appreciate the feedback! Some of the bugs mentioned are pretty interesting, I'll be looking into those later (especially the ones about the chainsaw not working properly. Weird!)
Keeping everything when repeating the game is a happy accident, we noticed it a couple of days ago and will be fixing it when the judging period is over. For now, enjoy the accidental New Game+ :)
Thanks again for the detailed write-up, and for checking out our game!
