MAIN CHARACTER GETTING STUCK. PLEASE READ IF YOU FIND THIS
Hi,

There's a bug in the game (well, it's two or three linked bugs) in which the main character sometimes gets stuck in either the scenery or into an enemy.

We have issued a fix for some instances of this, but I'm sure there are still times when it happens. Tthis can happen against:

-Enemies
-Scenery

Against scenery, the bug should not happen if everything is set up properly, but it does sometimes because either the collider in the scenery is not properly configured OR because of the action you are executing has a specific bug.

Against enemies, Heart now should be pushing enemies away when dodging or falling, which should help with this. But again, certain attacks/dodges might still have problems.

At this point, the bug does not reproduce on my test level on the development computer, but that doesn't mean it's gone forever.

What I'm trying to say is that, although we know what's causing the problem, and although we think we have fixed many instances of it, there might still be some times when it happens.

The best thing you can do is to provide an screenshot if you find this bug, which will allow us to check both your equipment and the piece of scenery (if any) where you got stuck to test it.

I just picked up this game after having it on my wishlist forever. Couldn't wait any longer even though I know it's nearing completion. Let me say I'm glad I picked it up, been having a blast playing nonstop since I bought it.

I finally completed the first level and was excited to start exploring the city and finding all those well-hidden powerup boxes. Well, not 5 minutes after entering the city for the first time, I managed to fall through the bottom of the map and just kept falling forever.

I figured eventually I would hit the bottom and get reset back to some point on solid ground much like when I fell into the pits in the first map, but I just kept falling and falling. I had to finally just exit to the main menu and start again. :sadrobot:

If there was an option in the menu to reset position to somewhere safe it would be greatly helpful for situations like this or when the character gets lodged in between a drain pipe and a wall as also happened to me (I was able to eventually wiggle myself out of being stuck there).

Really only a minor complaint/suggestion, otherwise I've been loving the game so far. Keep up the great work!

Thanks!

Regarding the falling off bug. Do you remember where did it happen???

I believe it was one of the corners near the top, closest to where I first loaded in to the city map.

had an interesting bug occur in a city part of level 2, i was running through a doorway, bounced off an enemy and into a frame on the door (a white garage type building of some sort i think), and got stuck in an animation loop....something like falling and jumping, but still registering contact with the ground. can't attack, can't switch weapons, can't dodge, and heart just kinda "glides" along the ground when attacked. agree with above comments, some form of "reset position" option is needed in case this stuff happens.

Hi.

I'm gonna guess you just found the infamous (for us) Thunder Hammer bug. It triggers when using the hard attack of the Thunder Hammer on the second level (if you used it on the first).

We are very, very sorry this slipped into the release (QA didn't find it and we gave it ample QA time) and have submitted fixes to Sony and Microsoft, but we don't know when they will be accepted.

PC fixes will be uploaded ASAP.

Again, sorry this happened. Wait a little longer so it gets fixed. In the meantime, if you get the Thunder Hammer, scrap it before -or just after- entering the second level.

is the thunder hammer bug gone too or not yet ?
HeartAndSlash  [developer] Jun 30, 2016 @ 10:40am 
It's gone on PC. The Steam version contains no critical bugs we are aware of now.

yay ! guess i have to dive back in! ill be streaming this in about 2 hours or so =)

really hope for the fixes to come quickly on PS4, although I don't honestly mind buying it again for PC because THE GAME IS FREAKING AWESOME AND YOU DESERVE ALL THE SUPPORT! Keep up the good work. Also, there are many bugs I've encountered in the 2nd level where I could hop onto many different platforms(that I'm not supposed to get to xD) which would make me fall into the world or see through walls.

I've encountered this problem twice on the PC. Once when I couldn't find a way out of an world 2 room and tried to jump up to figure if it was a higher path:

I'd provide a better look of where I was headed but I can no longer steer camera when my steam overlay crashed.

Sadly I don't have screenshots of the other time, but it happened during the [Spoilers] Subway trainworm boss? I think I was inside the worm to hit it, got knocked out when it started moving, and just ended up sliding towards the wall until I skid along it?
