Thank you for the feedback!
So the damage: they do, it's just an insignificant amount of damage at the beginning of a run cause thematically, the asteroids get tougher as time goes in due to the glitch worsening. So damage taken is very low until like the 2 minute mark giving you leeway to grab some upgrades. By the 10 minute mark, every hit is disastrous.
The freeze issue: I couldn't recreate it. Can you provide some info about how exactly it happened so I can try mimicking that?
When just starting the game, I was running into the glitches to see what they would do. I'd give it a roughly 50% chance that the first one I ran into froze the screen, otherwise it would do nothing. The second one always froze it, though I only tried this process like 5 or 6 times in total. When the screen would freeze, the audio would keep going, but all the visual elements would stop. A translucent orange bar would appear and cover the whole horizontal of the screen, and most of the vertical, starting from the centre and going outwards. At that point, I would have to force close the game. What does running into a glitch usually do?
INTERESTING.
It's doing all the right stuff, but it seems to not be Spawning the upgrade cards.
It's supposed to pause the game and give you 3 upgrade cards to choose from (only 33% of glitches do so). You cannot pause or move until you choose a card so that's why you're freezing.
The only idea I have rn is perhaps the cards are showing up UNDER the orange banner due to Sprite Render Order. I could look into that and upload a new patch, but I think that would be against the rules of the game jam?
