Game looks nice, and the idea is great. But sadly it seems to crash after the second level.

(1 edit)

I know. I found out about it 5 minutes before submissions ended. There will be a fix as soon as the voting ends. Also, for your information, the game crashes specifically when the goblin type enemies should spawn in.

The game works now.
