you frequently slide of the edge of platforms
stiff, slippery afterthought that every inflation based platformer has.
I… Really don’t understand the stiff part (First time hearing it), but the last one is subjective. The game is movement based, but I make sure that the slippery part doesn’t cause a problem throughout the rest of the mechanics. The only time you’ll get more slippery is the bigger you are, but that’s it.
You can adapt to your movement and avoid going far off the edge (Or just don’t use the run button near the ledge), but other than that, I’ve never heard anyone who played the game have argued that the character slides too much.
and you have to mash buttons to escape from things
Any game that requires you to mash buttons to escape from something is a game that is not well designed on basic principle.
Subjective (Once again, first time hearing it), but in the tutorial, it also mentions that you don’t have to mash the arrow keys to escape. You’ll just have to simply press the attack button otherwise to escape (And I make sure to make an alternative solution before anyone complains that the game is too button mash-y).
