Any bugs to look out for?

Because our game is still in Alpha, it unfortunately still has a few bugs here and there. None should greatly hinder your progression but here is a list of Known Issues to look out for:

Various placeholders are currently in the game
Some cards are missing some text
If you arrive in the Capital after having trained a second sidekick in the Snarl region, you will find the 3rd hire node to be empty and won’t be able to continue
If you quit a run mid-way, your gold may be reset when you reload the save.
The game may crash if you use Infused Bump to push an enemy.
The Hunter’s Arrow Volley attack still damages the hero outside the Danger Zone. Even if the hero stands behind or on the side of the Hunter.
At the start of the boss battle, the player has double the amount of cards in hand. The player can use all cards, but the duplicated cards disappear after switching to the sidekick.
Some SFX are delayed and are played after the corresponding animation or interaction.
The Miss Fortune shop’s screen only changes when something is won after spinning the wheel. If you don’t win anything, the screen will not change at all, which may make you believe nothing happened (but it did, there is just a very low chance of winning)
