Known Bugs:
- Sometimes when an enemy dies, he keeps rotating forever in the air and might softlock the game (bug present in the original game).
- If you hit butcher and your partner at the same time, all players become immortal (bug present in the original game).
- Sometimes the game throws an exception and it crashes, I saw that happen only on 4th stage, have no clue how it happens and why, it might also happen on other stages (bug present in the original game).
- Players can grab enemies from far away and sometimes even when they are in the air (bug present in the original game).
- 2nd Form of Final Boss can be double or triple comboed by players, he dies without even moving (bug present in the original game).
- If you get an extra life in the score count screen at the end of a stage, your character doesn't cheer after defeating the boss and also stop moving, but it goes back to normal as soon as the next stage loads (bug present in the original game).
- Tyrog doesn't puke or spit fire if the player active flag is set to a value that makes the player immortal, Punch + Attack button does that, being knocked down also does that, throwing enemies too, several other situations (bug present in the original game).
- Gameplay demo is grabbing the new colors instead of the originals (Readjusted version bug).
WHAT'S NEXT: There isn't much left to do for this hack, maybe adjust some of the changes made. Maybe I will fix some of the bugs left, maybe not, the rare crash bug I don't even have an idea of why it happens so I can't replicate, which means I can't fix it right now.
