Thanks for playing! I’m glad you figured it all out. Indeed, the traveling platforms are a bit special, the spark should happen when the ends are lit, the better the timing, the more charge they get but it takes at least 2 sparks to get to max charge. This is not explained well at all when the skill is acquired, I had some fancy ideas that were waaaay out of scope.
I had some additional vague puzzle ideas that never came to fruition and at the time the most expedient way to reset them was to have them slow down and return and then I didn’t want to mess with thing in case I made them worse. Initially I had a much worse visual, but clearly I still need to work on it.
So, yeah, afaik no actual bugs, just bad choices on my part.
