Love this game as well!! The new enemies and more varied dungeons are great. I am enjoying much about this latest build.
Started this itch account to report that there are issues with the throwing knives and picking things up for me as well. After my first death things got strange. I was able to "reset" sometimes by going into the test area then hitting it's clear and exit button. Also, sometimes the info panel for weapons would state that I had something equiped when I tried to, but was unable to pick it up. Sometimes one hand, sometimes both. When pushing trigger to get the knife, the "bugged hand" will just drop the knife, not hold it.
AWESOME GAME!! Love seeing it grow! Multiplayer someday??
