08/05/2024 - Known Issues (to be corrected after Jam judging):

• Minor spelling error in level 1 should read "A and D" rather then "W and D"
• If player beats the game, they can start level 1 with all potions. 
• Some feedback on light timing on stage 3. This can be completed, but will be changed to ease the challenge a bit.
