Yup! I started to see how the world actually rotated during the Pyreye boss, I guess that was actually a good thing I didn't had the dash by that point then, since I had to rely solely on those (And I think the boss really works like that, despite the difficulty spike, wich could be a little smaller indeed lol)
Also, no sweat with the softlocks, I expect them on jam games, and aside from the last one, they were still close enought to the beggining of the game to be manageable (would have been even better if I knew about the R to reload thing tho xD), but yeah, would be nice to get rid of them
