Please list any bugs you find here! Be sure to include which browser you are using, and if possible steps to reproduce the issue.

I noticed a tendency for the game to crash when loading into new levels or when hitting continue after getting defeated, leaving the heroine frozen on screen with the blue wave effect behind her and no way to input commands. The music continued, however. It only seemed to happen when starting a new level after completing one or when hitting continue. Refreshing the page solved the issue though this obviously isn't ideal

I was running the game on Firefox on Windows 10. I also tried it with Chrome and encountered the same problem.

Is there a specific level that's causing this trouble, or do all of them seem to do it intermittently?


It would help me find the problem if you could play the game with the browser console open (Ctrl+Shift+J in Firefox) and then copy any errors that get output when the game freezes if you can reproduce the issue. That would help me track down what is going wrong.

It seems to happen with both the first and second levels. I haven't progressed any further due to the glitch.

As for the browser console, please see here: https://pastebin.com/wG5DSkje

Hmmm. Looking through the console output, I don't see any errors being thrown from the game. For why it's freezing,it's probably lines 15-17, but those JS files aren't from the game and I'm not sure where they're coming from. Since you tried it in multiple browsers it doesn't seem likely that it's an extension. It could be a network problem, I know Itch has quite a few problems with VPNs if you're using one of those. 

You might try to use the offline version and see if that resolves your issue, although it's not the easiest thing in the world to set up.

I haven't been using a VPN, no, and given my setup I think it's unlikely to be a broadband issue. I would try the offline version but it seems like more trouble than it is worth. 

I do hope you're able to find whatever the issue might be.

Just a quick heads up, if you were using a controller at the time you had these issues, the most recent patch may have fixed the issue. Given how fiddly the web controller API can be, it would explain why the issue only happened sometimes. If not, then I'll keep my eyes open for more potential causes.
