New Ability: DASH
To help with mobility and speed, Emira can now DASH. Great for when you've mistimed a long jump, or ran into a wall by mistake!

We also think Adele and Boti made it look really cool too!

Ever wonder where the Guards come from? Well wonder no more! Throughout the levels Emira will encounter Guard Charging Pods. If one activates, your best bet is to run away or try to jump over its head.

comment below if you think he should be the main character!

Producer Mark accidentally trapped Emira inside a collider right at the start of the level. I don't think she liked being in there!
