re: first level, second jump / glide is broken

[gino costa]

Hello,
On the first level, right after you learn to glide, you jump / glide to an island in the water, then to a second. The second jump / glide is impossible because the second island is too far away to jump / glide to. I saw a walkthrough, and this is how you progress. Unfortunately, this is impossible.
I don't expect this to be addressed or fixed, so I am assuming this game is a dead end game.
Oh well, at least the console versions work

Too bad, if this isn't fixed I may have to refund, assuming I am allowed to

what are you talking about? the island is not too far away. if it's the very start of the game and if it was actually broken then why is nobody else complaining? it sounds like you just aren't using the glide correctly or you are going the wrong way or you are just trying to farm steam points hoping people will give you the jester award for this baffling post.

I am sorry but no matter how I try, I cannot make that jump. This is legit. I tried and I even looked at the walkthrough to be sure I am not wrong

Yes I do the double jump but I fall into the water before I can even get to that next islandthe island

[Mr. Jack Dandy]

idk what to tell you because that part isn't glitched. all I can guess is that you are either jumping too early or gliding too late

[gino costa]

Ok I'll try again

[gino costa]

Hello,
It seems if I use the keyboard I can make the jump but no matter what I try the controller doesn't work, and it's not my controller.
Glad I found this out. Still not easy but doable
Thanks

sounds like your controller has some drift issues or you have software for the controller messing up the deadzones

Strange. I played the entire game on controller myself and did not have any such issues. It does sound like there's either an issue with your controller or your specific install. Have you tried verifying game files to see if anything broke there? (right click game in Steam > properties > local files > verify integrity of game files)

[gino costa]

Hello,
I verified my files first thing. I found out the cause of everything. It seems the Spongebob moves a bit slower when I use the controller, and actually moves / walks faster with keyboard. Not too much faster, but enough to make jumps / glides much less capable with the controller.
No it could not be my controller - no other game does this, only this one. No stuttering either. Simply slower movement. I just tested other games, no difference.
No other possibility than a bug that effects me but not you.

Thank you

How very strange. Please report it via the link in the following thread. Thanks.

Try adjusting your controller settings through Steam. Settings->Controller->General Controller settings. I find that turning on Xbox Configuration Support (or PS, or Switch, or whatever your controller is) can fix an issue if it isn't on already, and turning it off can fix it if it is. I've had similar issues in the past and turning Xbox Configuration Support OFF fixed it for me. So give that a try.

I will thank you
I also switched controllers and that seemed to fix things as well but if I need to use that controller I'll do just that
Thanks again

I have to agree. The problem is drift in the stick. Because if the stick isn't able to be pressed all the way down you aren't getting full speed. Which means you have drift big time. There is temporary fix on steam configure the deadzone. You should contact the company if it's still under warranty. I got new xbox series controller free when I got drift within the first 3 months of own it. I used both xbox series and ps5 controller on this game. Both worked great and I would recommend testing controllers if you have this issue in the future. Happy gaming!
