This caused several instances of just trying things to see what works.
Going into the next level, another NPC with a sad face won’t work with Allison.

During my playthrough, bosses got stuck in the ground, so I couldn’t hit them.
Environmental actions didn’t react as intended, so I couldn’t kill a separate boss.
An item needed to progress didnt appear until I restarted the level.
Character skills and abilities didn’t work until a separate level was restarted.
A Broken Product Not Worth Your Time… At Least Not Yet?
There’s just too much to fix to make Funko Fusion worth your time.
