I encountered some nasty bugs while trying to play through this game. I literally had to start the whole thing over 2 or 3 different times after getting softlocked at different sections. One time, I threw the NPC at the apple tree at the beginning of the animal crossing section, and then he must have disappeared offscreen somehow (I wasn't paying attention), because after that he was just gone, and throwing the fish all over the place did nothing to help. Another time, when the very first floor spikes appeared towards the end of the game, I was standing right in the path of the spikes, and my character got caught in an infinite death loop, because they kept respawning in the exact same spot that they died, there is no period of invulnerability after respawning, and the amount of time it took to respawn is the exact same amount of time that it took for the next wave of spikes to get to where my character spawns, so my character would die immediately upon respawning, before it could even register any of my inputs.
