If you save in the room with the Polar Capsule and whatever and reload you get trapped because the H/V trigger causing the block-door to open isn't present.

Are you fucking- Ugh.

Fixed, download new version.

 

I was finished with facing Ironhead, and the You Got the Booster 2.0 message keeps popping up, softlocking me from continuing the boss rush!

I was playing the new version. If you talk to Sue after the Misery fight she will act as an XP shower. Is that a glitch? Also I fought the twins whitout spur and booster. How do I get it?

No, Sue secretly stores EXP capsules in her sweater. /s
This will be fixed in 1.41, which I am working on as of now.
EDIT: I wasn't able to reproduce this bug. What did you do to cause it?

Also I fought the twins whitout spur and booster. How do I get it?

If you upgraded the Polar Star to the Machine Gun or combined it into the Snake, you won't be able to get the Spur.
As for the Booster... Wait, you mean you have neither v0.8 nor v2.0?
If you didn't accept the Booster v0.8, you're supposed to get v2.0 after Ironhead.

I completed the mod once, but I can't find anything else than the blade, polar star and missile launcher (and super missile launcher)

To get the other weapons, accept the capsule when it's offered (all capsules are only offered once!) and take it to the Capsule Breaker.
You still haven't explained not having the Booster at the Twin Dragon fight.

I just played the mod and I fought every boss whitout a Booster 0.8 nor 2.0

What? OK, there are two ways to get a Booster:

1. The Booster v0.8 should be offered to you after beating Monster X.
2. If you refused to take the Booster v0.8, you should get the Booster v2.0 after Ironhead.

And I just tested Case 2, it's working perfectly.
How did you glitch past both of the-
Wait.
Did you interact with the first door in the Intermission? Because I may or may not have left a devskip there.

Well, there's your problem. It was my fault all along!

I think I messed up too. It was before the Misery fight.
