I'm sorry about your freeze, friend. I didn't have time to debug because of the submission deadline.
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the game though!
-I was gonna add a tutorial to show you how to equip it, but I didn't have time. The next patch that I'll post in a few days will have it, as well as "empty slot" icons visually depicting the gear categories
-I want to add tooltips when you hover over them that explain them, but I haven't gotten to that yet
-I'll be sure to move it up a bit so it doesn't clip through the floor as much
-I definitely want to add auto-targeting, especially considering how manually aiming an AoE attack while trying to dodge a bunch of bullets and skeletons sounds like an absolute nightmare on a controller.
Also, as for the freeze, was it a complete freeze where nothing moved, or were the animations just sort of stuck in a loop? Because I'm not sure what would cause the former, but I've already figured how what causes the latter.
