Was inspired to mess around in Aquaria again and found a glitch that I'd gotten a few times before by accident but never knew how to do on purpose. You can start a new game with higher max health than you should by loading a save file, doing a pause exit exit and then starting your new game. I don't think that it should be allowed for any% runs but idk I'd like some more input on this.

it depends if loading other saves is allowed in the middle of a run im not sure if u should allow this but i feel its only gonna be a time waste to load a other file tho being able to tank dmg could be helpful not sure

it requires using a previous save file to execute the glitch, so definitely should not be allowed
