I don’t know if this is something only in my game but my character has colission issues all the time and 90% of my deaths are due to this. If you are thinking of buying the game plase wait a litle bit.

I cant say im surprised. This feels like the norm for indie games now a days. Lets just hope they fix the bugs and dont just abandon the game like most indie companies 😒😒😒
I love this game but yeah I’m dying for a patch. I don’t think it’s this bad on PC, but it’s still less than optimal. Even hotfixes or something, but it’s radio silence so far if you aren’t on their discord.
Seen the same complaints on PC. It looks like a lot of fun but I’m waiting for a few patches.
Damn thats crap. I was interested too but I think I’ll wait for them to address the issues.
Looks like you were playing it and a bug happened. Hardly unplayable
It’s definitely not unplayable. I’ll admit I’ve had some collision issues and moments where the character froze up during an animation, but I’d say it was few enough where it was more of a slight annoyance where I had to restart a checkpoint. I hope it’s something a patch can address.
She broke away alright
Super pumped to play this game. It’s my most anticipated game of the year, but I’m gonna hold off on purchasing until there are some patches to fix the bugs I’ve been hearing.
That is insane! I actually beat this level already, and this didn’t happen to me, but I’m glad to finally see footage of this happening because I’ve seen others report similar issues.
I stopped the game for now and will be waiting for patches. A fun game with a great idea that needs optimization. Some of the problems I’ve experienced were: frame rate dipping, controls were buggy and glitches.
Hoo boy. Glad I’ve decided to wait.
¡ADIÓS!
Aren’t all multiplatform games unplayable on switch?
Hold the power button down on your Switch console for 5 seconds and then press “power options”, and then press “Turn Off”. Games will sometimes glitch out more often if you don’t turn the Switch off for awhile and just put it in sleep mode.
I don’t think this is a switch issue though. I got it on PC instead of switch and I have the same issues
That’s kinda sad to see. I wanted to buy it on day one but things got in my way. How did they not find this while play testing? Glad I am forced to wait until it’s patched.Â
Looks super fun though. How is it so far, besides the collision bugs?
This game is excellent— I finished it and really really enjoyed it. But yeah… it’s pretty buggy right now and unfortunately a lot of the bugs are issues like this, that will actively get in your way and kill you.
Unplayable is an overstatement, these bugs are rare enough to make it more than possible to finish the game.
That said, for a game so focused on physics and momentum, they definitely still appear too often.
I’m a bit conflicted with Pennys Big Breakaway. On the one hand there is clearly a very good game in there but on the other hand there are multiple things like these bugs that show that it wasn’t exactly given the final polish necessary for a really great game.
It also has some weird design decisions, where the game really wants you to go fast, keep your flow and momentum going etc (and it’s a real joy in these moments) but then the devs added all these characters in there with speech bubbles you have to stop to read, put all kinds of secret collectibles and missions in there that you need to slow down to actually find and especially the first few worlds are full of platforms and switches that make you wait and break your momentum.
It’s so weird that they added all these things that push you towards a “stop and go” playstyle similar to traditional 3d platformers when they very clearly want you to do the opposite.
If they announce a sequel I will be very excited however because the ideas are still really really good and the basis for an all-time great 3d platformer is totally in there. I also love how much the game doesn’t just look like a modern version of 32 bit saturn platformers but also brings the experimentation of that time back alive. I love that they were brave enough to design a control scheme that’s very different from other 3d platformers. It really feels like back on the PSX and N64 where you needed to adjust to the controls of each new game because the developers came up with a cool new game idea and didn’t try to neatly fit it into the genre, gameplay and control expectations of gamers.
They made a perfect recreation of 2D Sonic so this is just a perfect recreation of 3D Sonic.
It’s also 30 FPS…was pretty excited to pick this up, but hard pass
Wow I’ve been playing on Switch and haven’t had anything like that happen.
Mh. I have it for the switch , no Bugs yet…
Adios!
Works great for me
Decided to pick this one up on PS5 instead of Switch. So far I haven’t had any issues – sucks to see it’s bug filled on switch.
Actually 90% of my deaths are falling off the stage :,) but yeah I do fall THROUGH the stage sometimes. I’m used to devs completely neglecting their switch releases while giving all the love and bug fixes to the PC version, but this game was advertised in several Nintendo directs…
Calling it unplayable it’s an exaggeration though.
Yes, it has bugs and I hope it gets patched but are not that often I have encounter like 2 bugs in like 5 hours of playtime so far.
