I meant for all the traps to disappear and for the knight to be replaced with the boy. The bug was that the game did not explain why this happened. When you touch the Little Old Bloby at that point, she's supposed to say &quot;I did appreciate your help earlier.  Allow me to help you now.&quot;, but for some reason the message doesn't show up, and I wrote that part last minute and didn't have time to fix it. So that stuff is supposed to happen, the bug just makes it to where you think that was a bug... if that makes sense."},{"author_name":"DvanderAart","author_uid":"39433","time":"Sep 3, 2014 @ 7:06pm","epoch":1409770860,"text":"No glitches or bugs found and had some fun playing.

A few things that might help for future games - when you make anything with a top-down movement that has shooting, i'd recommend making the player shape something where it's easy to see what your facing is at a glance. It was a little tricky with the round blobby. I liked how giving that guy the sword came back around in a way I was not expecting later on. Hopefully this gives you a good basis for figuring out scope in future jams.
