Hi fellow sprout, glad you made it!
I’m aware of the soft-locks, and I thought I got rid of them all. Enemies will usually go back to their original spot if they don’t see you for a few seconds. I will sure look into that.
I decided to not to respawn enemy to reduce difficulty, but I could have reposition them after death to prevent soft-lock, that’s a very good point! Definitely take that with me in my future games.
Thanks for playing!
