I got to Phase 5 and after the intro finished, I died instantly(idk how my guess is that a bunch of attacks spawned on top of me or something). I pushed the button to retry and I was sent all the way back to Phase 2

Hi Jimbob!

As always thank you for reporting theese bugs, sometimes I think you have an special ability to detect or find bugs haha. I played that phase a lot of times and It didn’t happen to me.

But as always I’ll check it out to fix that bug as soon as possible.

Have you saved your game at slot 1, 2 or 3, before that bug happened ? And also, after that experience, if you try to open the game again, in which phase are you, in the second or the five?

Finally, I’m sorry for the difficult of that phase it’s the most difficult phase in the whole game. I’m already nerf that phase several times, but there still attacks that kill you at one touch, like the axes or the floating head that trow you things.

If you are able to pass the phase 5, the next phase believe it’s going be a lot easier (and the final one)

I didn't think to save to one of the slots after beating Phase 4. Reopening the game still has it marked as continuing from Phase 2.

It's alright. Don't worry about the difficulty of Phase 5. I'm sure that I'll be able to beat it eventually.

Okay, perfect, I’ll check when I can the autosave system from that specific part of the game to see what’s happening

Also, when you finish an important phase or you’re going to take a break or something try to save in one of the slots your current phase to make sure you don’t lose your progress.

You can do that (while being in-game) pressing one time ESC (this will sent you to the main menu) or closing the game while fighting and open it again

So I went to use the save system upon reaching Phase 4 and it didn't overwrite the save I made for Phase 5. So I used one of the other 2 slots and it says the phase saved in the file is phase 0. same thing happened when I tried to do it for Phase 5 in the third slot

Hi Jimbob! Well that’s VERY strange, the slot save system it’s fine, so the error might be on the autosave system.

The slot save system saves your current phase, but if the game currently it’s picking the wrong phase it’s normal that the slot save system it’s wrong…

Whoever today I’m going to see what’s happen I’ll tell you more tomorrow 👍

JimbobGamer28 days ago (1 edit)

Yeah. In the gallery it lists me as on a phase higher than 6

AdryhDeveloper28 days ago

Hi Jimbob! The phases are unlocked in the gallery in real time! When you advance on the game the gallery does the same.

By the phase higher than 6… What phase do you mean? The last phase or the last one you could unlock before the save system failed (phase 5) ?

JimbobGamer27 days ago

In the top left of the gallery where it says 'current phase' it has mine listed as 9

AdryhDeveloper27 days ago (1 edit)

Hi Jimbob! Yes, that’s the internal number that uses the game to refer to the phases, so, for example, the phase 9 equals the phase 5 (if I’m remember right), or for example, the phase 1 equals 0, it can be confusing…

But, perhaps I can change the number reference or the way the numbers are shown to not confuse the player.

So, that’s not a bug don’t worry 👍👍

JimbobGamer27 days ago

If that's the case then it should be something else because I managed to move on to Phase 6(through closing the game whenever I died before the full death animation could play so I didn't lose all my progress)

Also, I’m going to use you ask you something. I was planning a new feature in the game, like a new zone in the main menu that opens an store in which you will be able to buy items and upgrades for the gameplay for the update 1.8.0.

That update I don’t know when will be released (or if it will be released because of my situation) but, if im able to improve my situation, What do you think about this new brand feature coming to the game in future updates?

(The update 1.7.1 which will be the update dedicated to fix the bug you’ve reported won’t have this shop zone)

Tell me what you think when you can👍

JimbobGamer29 days ago(+1)

A shop sounds like a cool idea! Perhaps one of the things you could buy can be the ability to slow down the soul using the back/cancel button(X on computers) like in base Undertale and Deltarune?(This could make attacks like the first attack of Phase 3 a bit easier since you can avoid accidentally bumping into the attack)

AdryhDeveloper29 days ago(+1)

Mmmm, yes, it’s a very good idea!

I’ll add that feature in THE NEXT PATCH (1.7.1) instead of 1.8.0 that can be added without adding the shop! 👍

So, thanks for your idea Jimbob!

If I add the shop, I would add items like, for example, a shield that protects you from the first touch of a one-hit attack or another item that lets you slow time or something.

Hi Jimbob! I’ve been testing the Phase 5 and yes, that bug exists (obv), but it’s very hard to get :|

To cause this bug, as you said, you need to die JUST AFTER see the phase 5 intro and also, you need to have an updated-wrong autosave currently while you’re dying, in your case the autosave was pointing to the phase 2, so, again, mixing all of this, causing this bug it’s difficult, but not imposible as we’re discovering.

Whoever, I improved the autosave system to save during the intro of the phase 5 and later… As I said some days ago, you have an special ability to find bugs haha, I don’t know how to thank you sincerely.

So, yes, the bug you reported it’s now fixed. Now, the next steps are related with the addition of the feature you suggested in the reply of yesterday and the update 1.7.1 should be coming around next week (probably by the end of the week aprox).

If you had an suggestion, or feature you want to add, you can make a post for it, don’t be shy! We all can improve the game together.

That would be all Jimbob! 👍

Hey Jimbob! Hi, how are you? I hope you had a good Halloween Night!

I just released the version 1.7.1, so, the bug you mentioned should be now fixed I’ve improved a lot the autosave system trough the phases, however I recommend save your currnet phase in one of the three save slots every some time, after beating a phase, or something like that.

Also, I’ve added the feature that you requested some time ago, so, now while using / moving the soul if you hold the key “X” now, the velocity of the soul reduces, so you can control better!

I’ll lock this topic after your reponse, and, I hope you like this update, let’s pray to not see more bugs haha (this doesn’t mean that, if you found one, and if you want, to tell about an unknown bug…).

And that’s all! Tell me anything when you can. 👍

Hi! I'm good! My Halloween was great! I'll definitely be sure to check out the update when I get the chance to(and save the phase I'm on so I don't have to do it all over again).

Yeah. Hopefully there are no more bugs but as usual, I'll let you know if I find any
