I was trying to using pausing-ception when playing this. Maybe it’s really hard to see but i DIED, but you can see my live is still… 1 and my power is still 9. Additionally, music was still playing (should be stop when game over).
I believe the cause of this is the exact pausing-timing. I Hope i can get explanation from other people or dev himself. Thanks for watching! @InterAction_studios
*Edit: Btw i was trying to continue to play with that 0 live, i died again lol, and i got -1 live.
Note: This is only a 99% fix. You’ll still have 0 lives when you reconnect, but the mission will immediately be failed (and you won’t gain any points). Fixing the last 1% would be much more complex
Given that it took over one year to discover the bug, my guess is that it’s not that common. But it wasn’t rarity that made it a serious bug, but rather that it was exploitable (because it allowed you to play an extra life and gain more score/keys).
It can still happen with the same probability now as it did before the fix, but it doesn’t really matter since it’s not exploitable any longer.
