Hey Dreary, thanks so much for the update! I've once again started a playthrough and enjoyed it a lot so far. I'm really looking forward to see the new level :)
Unfortunately, I ran into a bug after completing level 7 that blocks me from progressing. Whenever I try to load a new level now, the game fails to load my stats and equipped items, and I cannot move or interact with anything. There are some items missing from my inventory as well: one or two Pirate's Cures and a special necklace I got from the last boss. Maybe that's the cause of the problem.
I can send you my save game as well if that would be helpful.
