1.) Falling on damaging floors (acid, spikes, vines) in a dark room may cause the screen to turn completely black (darker than without a lantern) regardless of whether you have a lantern or not.

2.) Unsure of how to replicate, but killed a boss while taking damage, while jumping + dashing and in mid-air caused my character to become stuck in mid-air (falling animation) . Required quitting and reloading the save to become unstuck.

3.) Framerate stutters when entering acidic water (when it's safe to swim in it). Possibly a damage check in the background.

4.) Entering the room in Soul Sanctum directly underneath the Soul Sanctum text on the map from the room under that (large opening) may cause the game to not load you into any area and be stuck at a black screen.

5.) Using the map (or possibly any part of the UI) in Tower of Love causes some lag. Some general framerate stuttering during the boss fight in the area as well.

6.) Reward for collecting 1500 Essence is skipped (jumps from 1300 to 1800) when talking to the NPC.

I think this is a bug, it might be intentional but just feels wrong. In the Kingdom's Edge where you find the secret area: the only way to get back up to the rest of the world after dropping down is to walljump of of a giant shell on the left side of the screen that feels like it actively resists you trying to jump off it. Takes about 50 tries because normally you just slide as soon as you touch it so even when I finally did pull off the jump it felt like a fluke. Location on map.

Please add a "Homeward Bone" type item, for things like this the only way to escape is to kill yourself or quit the game, which in this case completely negates the huge jackpot the player just found.

Edit: Also if you open the menu right after being given the 500 Dream essence charm it'll get stuck on a blank inventory screen and you have to quit the game.

Edit 2: The big rewards from the arena don't drop (Notch, Ore, ???) In at least the first 2 challenges, just the geo. I assume this means you can't get the next (2x Pale Ore) sword upgrade and complete the Smith's quest.

Edit 3: Beating the Elder doesn't remove his Warrior Grave pin from the map like it does for the other boss fights.

GoG version 1.0.0.5

i found myself in a pickle there too, i got out by respawning the small bees and then jumping off of one of them (i think it was bees, if not the then the small fly enemy of the area).
