Hey, thanks for the report! Second mention I've gotten regarding the cat wanting to continuously walk left (or the flashlight pointing left) - so there's definitely something screwy happening in the latest version.
I haven't been able to get it to happen on my end, but my first thought is that it has something with the new gamepad controller input I added in. Did you have a controller hooked up to your machine when playing? The issues could probably still happen regardless of whether one is actually connected or being used, but just curious.
