Hi! Im playing the game on the latest Macbook Pro Retina 13" Running Yosemite. Well, "playing" is not quite correct. The intro plays fine, but on staring the game the entire background/foreground except for the main character are blue. You can jump and there are appearently ledges, but you can't see them. Here's a screenshot: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=425079104

WTF. Thanks for the reporting, I'll add it to the known issues list above. I currently dev/test on Yosemite so I think this might be related to the hardware of the new Macbooks. My friend has the new 13 inch so I'll try fix this ASAP and will message you when the patch is released.

Lol, if you need the video info it uses Intel Iris 6100. If you would like me to test anything feel free to give me a hollar on Twitter @Retr0Rob . I'd be glad to help.

Retr0Rob, did this occur in fullscreen or windowed mode? Or both?

1.0.3 is completely broken on linux. It freezes at the loading screen. 1.0.2 worked fine.

No worries! Hope you feel better!

@Retr0Rob I've haven't been able to reproduce the issue on a new 13 inch Macbook Pro. Also tested on a new 15 inch Macbook Pro. I deployed a new release which includes updated versions of the libraries I use, it might not occur for you now?

@nardhollo Linux should be fixed now.

I have a some problems with my ps3 controller.
1: I have to use the right analog stick to move the character
2: I can jump but not powerslide at all

I hope you can fix this issue or even add a custom keybinding setting in the menu.

Thanks a lot and have a nice day :)

Thanks for reporting the issue! :) We mainly support the Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers as they're the most popular for PC games. However, I will investigate adding support for the PS3 controller or some way for custom keybinding but it may take some time.

Is it a bug that the loading screen takes up to several minutes to load certain levels?
Text box often gets stuck on the screen.

The bounding boxes and jump points are very off kilter compared to normal platforming games, this means it appears to ignore jump key presses and kills you when you're a pixel off the exact head of an enemy. This doesn't make it hard, it just makes it frustrating.

Also, you need some feedback when you're hit or go through a checkpoint flag. Just a sound would do.
