Why do the cats randomly go dormant and STAY dormant? There's no reliable way to get them back up, meaning some can stay invulnerable forever. This got me stuck less than two minutes into the game, unable to kill them, go past them, or even go backward past an invisible wall in the middle of the screen (I'm guessing one of your screen limits glitched), so I'm stuck on the right-hand side:
Also, what about this is a Metroidvania?
