The omnidirectional gear is terrible
I get that it looked cool on paper but it's honestly an absolute nightmare to use.
Just the tutorial is horrendously hard as you get stuck very easily, turn around, can't jump or move around. Adding to that some obstacles designed to kill your momentum and you're screwed.
The traction is miserable, you get pretty much no air time at all, and it feels less about a slingshot than just a sling made of cloth. Because of that, it makes even the tutorial frustrating and far less enjoyable than it should be. You can also "only" grapple on tree which are easy to miss and far too close to you to be of use outside of stopping you. You also need to "click on release" which should not be a thing now. A click to grapple and release to let go would be already easier to use. And even then, the fact that apparently your character forgot basic function like running and jumping meaning you can only use gas to move around, which is worse when the character is forced to turn around.

Overall, a good idea, poorly executed. I can't even get pass the tuto so I think I'll just skip the whole collab. Very disappointing.

Can the dev make the intro level a little easier? I've played it 3 times now and the best I've done is to get about 2/3 through, to the part where there are now holes in the ground to avoid as well. I ended up clicking on the non-client area of the game window and moved the entire window while trying to play this.

At least fix that one broken tree that's broken at an angle. It's super-easy to get stuck on the left of it against the left edge of the screen, with basically nothing to click on to get out.

I fully agree, the mini-game mode is so painful, the timer needs to be extended and the ability button needs to be bound to a key, as clicking this and accidentally grappling to the floor is infuriating.

Right-mouse button will fire the boost, but why not have a key, like spacebar, that would activate it? That's how the normal Bonus Stages work. Left mouse button or spacebar can be used to jump.

Yeah, tried a multiple time, cant pass this, so event stopped here for me.

i was so excited to see an update and reinstalled the game again... i'm pretty tempted to reuninstall again just from how bad the timed tutorial thing is. i'm guessing that much like the shovel knight event, the only permanent thing we get is some tiny stat upgrade?

RMB didn't activate gas for me. No buttons either. I'm not an AoT fan but was willing to try until this tutorial. Absolute ♥♥♥♥♥.

I also really hate that the daily 20x cps bonus is now buried under the AoT characters. This is highly inconvenient - if I get a 36x coin value stacked on a 8000% cps boost and a gemstone rush, I don't want to be wasting those precious seconds of overlap on scrolling.

im ok with it, though i needed a few try to make it. just need to use the boost to get the most out of the gear momentum. what bothered me a lot are the broken trees. spaces in between is to narrow and the ones appering after 1600 meters have very annoying collision.

Absolute ♥♥♥♥♥. The character forgets how to jump all of a sudden? Horrible controls? No, thanks, that's the end of this event here.

I've tried it on both my laptop and mobile, failed on both. Might be better if the timer was just removed for the tutorial stage or half the distance. Basically anything ti make it easier to play.

Stuck at the first omni gear part. Controls feel like garbage, but will still keep trying. The time limit given is horrible.

cant pass this too, absolutely terrible. need to turn off the timer.

I don't get it. My character runs when I boost them, then glides up some tree halfway, then stops, turns around, and nothing else happens anymore until I stop the level or let the timer run out.

What am I even doing here? Is this really meant to be a tutorial?

This minigame is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Well, great. Figured out after half a day, that it is possible to click on trees, and that I need to do this instead of the boost thing. Somehow cleared the level after who knows how many attempts. And now one of my allies turned into a giant, and I have no idea what to do yet again. Run forward, hit other people, lose because the time runs out.

This all makes no sense.
