Hi! I'm the 2D artist, thank you so much 💜
Unfortunately in the jam build the sceptre didn't always behave correctly, it could be bugged in some runs.
The sceptre should render the player character invulnerable for the duration of its battery, and leave them exposed to danger as soon as it runs out (temporary invincibility).
We weren't allowed to update the build until the jam's voting period was over, but now you can find a new build that fixes this! ⭐
