The shadowy figures are nicely ominous.\n\nWhile everything worked perfectly initially, when I reset the game from within the game, I was no longer able to shoot my wand, and enemies no longer hurt me. And even when I could shoot the wand, it didn't seem to affect anything? I loved the animation of it, though, so I did it often.\n\nGood luck Iby.
