Update 7

Good news! I managed to work up the courage to do a bit more work on the game.

- Fire creatures now shoot fire orbs.

Thanks to some amazing feedback from Yal and Zuurix, I've now got my work cut-out for me with a large list of things to do to improve the game (e.g. prologue). If I get a single 1 thing done before the jam ends I will be happy.
