There are more cases like after shooting a fire arrow the effect will keep spinning. I imagine it's all from the same cause so this should be enough of examples of the bug.

Hmm yeah, this is caused by the fact that the game is just continually rendered, and not just over the framebuffer like console.

@JoshDuMan Is there any reason for doing it this way instead of using a framebuffer? It also causes some other issues like location title cards rendering over the pause screen as mentioned in #143.

I can think of a few reasons. One of which is that the port as far as I know does not support framebuffer emulation at all (which causes quite a few other problems), but also because even if you do have framebuffer emulation resizing the window will have issues when you are currently paused. I like the idea of continually rendering the game but it is going to be difficult to do it properly, as these issues show.

We chose to continue to render the game because it allows for a greater deal of flexibility. As mentioned, if we had a texture and the window were to be resized, it would distort the image. The issue with the title card mentioned in #143 will not be difficult to fix, it's just a matter of adjusting the draw order.

While there are certainly some side effects as a result of taking this approach, these issues will not be difficult to fix. Some extra checks will need to be added to see if the game is paused.

The blue light effect after defeating a boss also continues its animation when pause menu is opened.

i guess inaccuracy was a good tag for this one, basically we want to implement a feature for pausing everything when kaleido is open
