Known Issues
- Art assets removed, greybox experience.
- Emira’s new Abilities don’t have fully functional animations. (Crouch and dash look, odd)

- Death animation no longer accurately represents how Emira died
- Transition between Tutorial and Level 1 is broken (Use the pause menu to load level 1 manually)
- End of level 2 does not work (Text placeholder shows where it finishes)
