Hi BrokenVial, thankyou for the feedback and kind words! Glad to hear you had fun and liked the design choices :D
Thanks for mentioning the bugs you encountered, it really helps prioritise which ones are causing the most immediate issues for players.
There’s a lot of balancing and bug fixing left to do, and certain aspects of the Meeps behaviour either needs to be less chaotic, or better communicated to the player regarding, when, why and how certain chaos ensues.
Both are on our list of fixes, and we flag each time an issue crops up in feedback, so hopefully in the next update they should be improved.
The climbing one may be as simple as limiting their ascent speed and is a priority for us because we don’t want any Meep deaths to feel unfair and I’ve definitely encountered that in my own playtests. The herding behaviour is a bit trickier, because it’s layered into a design mechanic and fixes another issue in the code, but we’ll have a think and tinker with it and see what works.
Thanks again!
Tim
