Thanks for playing!
The lance's ribbon is definitely bugged right now, Unity hasn't bothered fixing their broken cloth simulation for ages so we're going to have to look for a plugin to replace it.
Currently you can unlock an alternate lance by beating the first level (although you must be warned that attempting to interact with a wall lock with that one will currently softlock the game) which has a different but still somewhat similar moveset. We want to add more weapons with crazy abilities in the future, so all suggestions are welcome!
