BUGS (exclusive to the "Full Reflection" version):
-There seems to be an issue with the fog covering the surface of the water in some specific places(end of Arcadia level), creating a weird artifact over the water.
-When there is more than one pool of water on screen, the game can't render reflections on both of them at the same time, so the game de-renders one of them (sometimes causing the skybox to appear).
