Question: Bugfix for Submitted Version

Hi guys, I have this bug I want to fix for the submitted version but i’m unsure if I should proceed or not.

Basically, the problem is that when the player dies and restarts a level, the difficulty of the game does not reset. It remains at a difficulty where they last died (the levels get difficult overtime). Although unintentional, this punishes the people playing the game multiple times. Newbies who couldn’t handle the difficult part get stuck with it which greatly frustrates them.

PoV’s post about the rules on bugfixes state that only crashes and typo bugs are allowed to be fixed. I just want to be sure if this bugfix is allowed and won’t get me disqualified.

You can tryout the submitted game here.

Thanks a lot, guys!

I would probably consider that a “typo fix”.

I do not believe it is something you should be fixing. However, you should definitely mention it in your description if you think it takes away from the enjoyment of the player. That way, the reviewers can adjust their thinking accordingly, or just reload the game in between plays.

In my opinion, you should not fix it.
