Beautiful artstyle, jumping feels weird with controller
Love the animation and the idea of a different version of Hollow Knight! But when jumping it feels kinda slow to me and especially when double jump. With the controller it is very difficult to jump normally.

HI Ennazoj,

Thanks for the feedback. When I first started playing Bo it took me a while to get used to pogo-ing off an enemy or obstacles and then reusing the jump. There was a point where it all started coming together though.

Agreed, it feels a bit slow and floaty. Could be tightened up imo.

Why, oh why, isn’t there a traditional double-jump..?? I’m really not liking the pogo jumping, I find it so frustrating. 😕

The pogo jump definitely gives this game a unique flavor. Stick with it and it will "click"

It took me a while to get used to when I first started playing, but there's a point where it clicks and you become an aerial acrobat. I love the change in attack speed when Bo is in the air!

Thanks, I think it's due to me playing another Metroidvania right before this; my muscle memory hasn't adjusted, I keep hitting jump twice and dropping like a stone lol. Otherwise I love it, I'll keep at it.

You'll be killing it in no time, and yeah I'd just finished my millionth Hollow Knight playthrough before I ran through Bo and it took me a while to readjust!
