looks and plays so so good, but on Miyoo Mini native Pico-8 it glitches out after you are returned to a checkpoint :(
Thank you! Yeah I'm aware of the Miyoo Mini bug :(
I tried to fix it but I don't have one myself so it's difficult to test.
I can test it, if that's possible. I can probably run some debug?
Is it your choice to only accept paypal? I cannot see other options.
Yeah it was my choice. I don't really remember why. I think it was just simpler.
Noice!
I love this game, is so spooky.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!
