no, contrary to what the title might make you think, i’m not here to QQ about this being too hard.

what i’m here to complain about is the collision being all over the place (i.e. standing in a safe spot and getting randomly hit by the rapids), the rubberbanding (so much rubberbanding) and stunlocking that can’t decide where you are or when to give you control over the character or when to bounce you, etc.

the rapids are crawling with technical issues for trying to push something that the game clearly can’t do properly within its limitations. it would’ve been a cool idea, if it worked. but it doesn’t. so please, next time make sure that your new tricky thing for SAB works as intended, because getting randomly stuck on a wall and dying because of that is not fun. would’ve been easier (and less frustrating) to just kill if someone touches the rapids, but then again, the hitboxes are so random people would then complain about falling dead out of nowhere.

I spent quite a bit of time finishing this, then I moved on to pain cliffs. I did half of it, then stopped for a break. When I came back, I only had the option to go to the rapids, not the pain cliffs. Think about how I feel

I hear you, I was being hit by rapids while on rocks, on top of geysers. I got stuck in a wall, spawned, and then fell through the floor. I would fall through geysers a full two seconds before they even went down…

If it all worked, it would be a great challenge, as is, it’s just a tad bit frustrating.

i came to the forums just to complain about this; its ridiculous (and annoyed me to hell with the first release too), id much prefer to just have instant death when touching water than this god awful waiting whilst my character slowly dies because im rubberbanding everywhere and cant jump to safety

- oh and jumping off a water geyser then suddenly hitting the water because the geyser dissappeared before you landed on ground
