Small Notes/Upcoming Plans:

I know there's a lot more bugs with blood orbs but we are reworking it so I just kinda haven’t fixed them.
In the next couple of updates we are reworking a lot of stuff, things like Blood Orbs, Brothers!, and Supernova. We know what we’re gonna do with Blood Orbs, but we’re still thinking of ideas for Brothers! and Supernova so if you have any ideas let us know :) Or if you think you have a really good idea for Blood Orbs then still let us know.
We’re also changing a few sprites (mainly the normals) to give them more range.
Also there’s probably a lot of stuff I’m missing here.
