The issue with graphics not always being visible is a known issue that is unfortunately quite tricky to fix. You can often work around it by playing at a lower resolution or in windowed mode. We hope to fix it in the future, but no ETA on when that might be.
The bug with the Strength Potion duplicating is a more serious bug, and should also be more easy to fix. That for reporting it! We need to look into why it's happening and fix it, hopefully in the next update
There are a few main ways that enemies can block or reduce damage:
- Shields: each layer of shield nullifies one instance of damage
- Iron Skin (X): reduces normal damage by X. Doesn't affect damage from other enemies, poison, freezing, ...
- Frozen: a frozen enemy doesn't take any damage, but hitting them will remove the Frozen effect.
- Health Gates: these are choke-points where you can't get past them with 1 action (like a card). Only used on the bosses at the moment
Maybe one of these was reducing the damage? I suspect Iron Skin, it's quite easy to miss...
Thanks for the reports. Unfortunately it does seem like this is a thing that can happen and restarting is the only way to fix it. It didn't happen when I was working on it, but I've also seen it happen in the build now. I'm guessing it's a floating point difference maybe? I can't update the game this week (cause of GMTK Jam), but maybe next week I'll put out a patch that fixes it. Fortunately it's relatively rare and I've gotten through a game without it happening. Frustrating when it does happen tho, sorry!

We're working on an improved version of the game, called Jetstream. Hopefully coming soon to mobile: http://jetstreamgame.com/
Really happy to hear Streamline is calming! <3
Those sound like some good suggestions! However all development effort on this project is currently being directed to Jetstream (http://jetstreamgame.com/), our spiritual successor to Streamline. Besides looking better, having much better audio and other polish changes, Jetstream has quite a few new mechanics, while removing the clunky two-player mode you're referring to (it was a nice experiment, but I agree - it's not as good). We're current working on a procedural generation mode for Jetstream and will be putting out an update with that, as well as bringing it to mobile platforms.
I'd love to also have some sort of level editor, but alas that tends to be an expensive feature to do. We have an internal editor, but it would be a lot of work to get that remotely acceptable for public consumption. Jetstream's procedural levels will be structured a bit differently, so it'll be a bit easier to share them in some ways - think more like groups of daily levels where everyone in the world gets the same set. We're working hard to get that done soon :)
Thanks for playing and your feedback!
Thanks! We've been working on Jetstream (http://jetstreamgame.com/) as a follow up with the same core mechanics but fleshed out a bit more. Maybe that scratches your itch?
I've fixed the scrolling bug before, but unfortunately the ever-changing web standards means that it constantly needs a new fix and I don't have the capacity right now to look into that. Sorry! Hopefully playing in fullscreen or with the itch app is better :)
