Oopsidoodles! My friend got pushed into the air by the geckos! He could walk over blocks and over lava. But after going into the elevator with him, his character stopped responding. Gosh though it was funny.

Oh no, he somehow cheated death! That obviously shouldn't happen, but becomes a little more likely if the game is unable to maintain a good framerate (over 20fps) which can be a struggle on older computers in later levels. One thing to keep in mind is that any player can pause and "Drop Out", then press a button to rejoin if they are stuck somewhere.

I'm really sorry hamhead, but Switch Pro Controller is not a standard PC controller and thus it is untested & we don't officially support it.
Here's two things to try if you haven't already:
- Play Fossil Hunters through Steam, taking advantage of their controller API https://www.pcgamer.com/how-to-use-a-nintendo-switch-pro-controller-on-pc/
- Use the Switch Pro Controller with a device like the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter https://www.8bitdo.com/wireless-usb-adapter/, which essentially turns the Switch Pro Controller into an XBox Controller (XInput) which we designed the game to be played with.
For best results try an XInput controller like the Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller. Please let me know how it goes! Thanks for playing.

Thank you for the suggestion. I found a lot of games I got through the BLM Bundle don't work with my Switch Pro controller and the XBox controller I have just broke. So I will be getting the adapter to enjoy all these new games. Thanks again!
I somehow jumped over the barrier in level 4 without placing the jewel and then got stuck on the other side. It had already autosaved and there was no way for me to fix it so I had to delete my save file.
