RPG Shooter: Starwish Prologue softlock #14932

Open waspennator opened 8 months ago

waspennator commented 8 months ago

Describe the bug

When playing through the prologue shmup part of the game at the start, you'll quickly run into a softlock when you are forced to lose to the first boss ship of the game, some assets stopping once you lose all your health, but not everything.

Just start a new game and skip through everything till you get to the shmup part of the game, shouldn't take longer than a minute to reach the boss.

Expected behavior

The game should transition into the next cutscene when you die to the fireball boss ship.

It's not a Ruffle bug, it's a Starwish bug--at that point the game is told to update your stats through the Kongregate API (no matter what site you're playing on) and there's nothing in the code to handle a failure to do so. This will happen on any emulator or flash projector without wider internet connectivity and will someday happen no matter what once Kongregate changes its API or shuts down.
