Great game. The protagonist is really lovely.
Im here to report the mentioned black screen bug.
I have it frequently in fact. first time i climbed up to the statue which unlocks the wall to the next level (the high climb over thee floors vertically). I jumped into the next screen and it was black.
The second time i got farther. I managed to get past the slime vs block-push race. I ran past the flowers and went normally through the next section. Black screen.
HOWEVER. i noticed that none of the three plants attacked me there. i could stand next or in them and no tentacle-attacks were rising at all. maybe that is an indicator for the bug to appear. Or they are not supposed to attack. Thought i mention it since every single detail counts for bug hunting.
Its a little annoying though. the game is slow. In general its lots of fun and the perfect pace! However when you wanna proceed and have to do the tutorial part and all that again and again, it feels slow. Am i not understanding the "skip to menu" or can you not skip inside a level? I would like to not do the tutorial over and over again when it bugs out
edit: this time they tentacled at that spot and i got through and received the savepoint.
...Uh a big gate!!!
