And I'm pretty sure there's at least one instance where you can't go behind them at all (in crystal rooms I think?)
Yeah, you're supposed to be able to go behind them. We originally had that but then found out that you could just roll behind and pick up all the suits (this bug existed for, I think, months 😂). The quickest fix we came up with was just making the collider much bigger, but, that'll change eventually.
Also it's really frustrating when a tree is blocking a hole and you fall in, but I guess this is intentional? It doesn't feel fair though!
This will probably change -- right now our side wall sprite placement is sort of rough
Are the analog sticks supposed to be analog?
They're not anymore. We realized that the analog was a big problem for beginners being able to nail the both-sides-up-at-once maneuver that is so critical to movement since they'd often be not-fully-pushed on both sides. I believe our plan is to add it back as an option.
I've now unlocked all the teleporters and I never use them because I don't have enough seeds/crystals/hearts to make it through the fourth biome. I was the same way with Spelunky. But I guess that's maybe OK?
Woohoo! That is exactly our intent. They're mostly there in case you get stuck learning a biome's enemies.
Thanks for the kind words at the end! Yeah, I'm really excited for Joel's soundtrack, even just for my own use haha
