AFTER BEATING FIRST BOSS.. GAME FREEZES? BUT THEN STARTS AGAIN?

[Bchampli]

hey guys I came across a pretty game breaking bug, that unfortunately seems very recreatable, as the title suggests I am going along like normal but in the next 'stage' of the new map at the very last minion something bizarre happens, at first the game completely freezes, ok so the app is hung right? thats what i thought, get online see if I can find any info out about it and it 'magically unfreezes' so I shoot the next ball.. same situation it freezes again, no idea whats causing this but its absolutely something I can replicate.

I am playing on the steam deck,

after some testing I can tell what its doing, every so often it 'disconnects' the controller, after a time it will reconnect, like 1min? or so, for my playing on the deck its rather annoying as the deck is a controller itself
