Jade Staff Boss spiked armor bug

[zajano]

Armor says it will do damage upon being attacked, so I've been pushing the boss in front of his ally's attacks. Nowhere does it hint that I will be the one taking damage EVERY time. yet, when someone else punches the boss - I am the one taking damage.

This can't possibly be the intended design, right? If it were, wouldn't they include some description that indicates as such?? Even if it's just "through some mystical force". I've had almost a perfect run up until this point and have an awesome deck that's making fights a breeze, and now I'm about to die because of this completely unclear and idiotic mechanic - or bug.

Either way, I'm pissed. like, I don't even want to play the game again kind of pissed. every other time I've failed I've felt like it's completely my fault, then there's this trash.

It's a bug.

I have lost several runs to this as well, it's really annoying that it hasn't been fixed years on from release. It's so stupidly punishing and makes zero sense - surely having other enemies damage the boss rather than you is the most logical solution to the challenge?! I have no idea why it wasn't addressed in the latest patch, several people have raised it as an issue. FiTS feels neglected for some reason.

The reason is the devs are working on Knights In Tight Spaces.

The really weird thing is that the spike damage worked fine for several updates, and even the previous update was fine, the spike damage targetting just broke in the most recent update for some reason. Maybe some kind of codebase refactoring/cleanup behind the scenes - only the devs know for sure.

I've been having a great time with this game right up until now where it ruined an endless run =( This stupid bug!

One of the developers mentioned on their Discord that "[there's a] Fix for this coming in the next few weeks"

https://discord.com/channels/593465873575051317/842047979871666228/1302969402639126550

So, presumably that means they are getting things stable enough with KiTS and are wrangling a way to get an update ready for PC and console platforms? One can only hope. It'll be interesting to see what all gets included in the fix when it's ready.

You need to play this demo with realistic expectations it's for a game that isn't released yet so there will be bugs lmao

Almost 3 years into a game's life, along comes a khokhol telling players to be realistic about the game not being released yet. Makes sense.

This isn't a demo? This has been out for years? And also having just started playing it again for the first time in about a year this is an entirely new bug, and an incredibly annoying one to boot

Mane how do you lose "several" runs to this you literally just don't do the thing that is bugged after the first time you discover it.

My bad for this comment you're replying to I thought I was on the knights in tight spaces discussions not fights in tight spaces
