[Solved] Infinite loop on first boss of level 3?

[mikesol]

So after the first hit on the boss, the circle thing that protects the boss appears. I hit everything but and I get the shot against the boss - but it just hits the circle and stops. I've done this approximately 20 times in a row now but I'm still there. I'm not really sure if I'm supposed to do something else?

I've tried not picking up the glowing shot thing and repeating but it doesn't seem to help. Any else experience this? Am I just being a scrub?

Thanks!

Edit: Restarted level 3 and now can't make it past the first level. It's doing the infinite loop thing there as well. I have a feeling that I'm just missing something cause normally you can make that circle thing disappear somehow.

Hey there! When you jump the first spike obstacle, do you see the prompt telling you to push DOWN? You need to push down while in the air to "pound" the thump tile below you. The pound shockwave will unlock the shield and let you hit the boss with the glowy thump.

Hey Marc --

Sorry for being unclear. I was actually talking about the 3-12(?) boss. But I totally just realized what you were saying now that I restarted level 3 and was going from the start. Is there a way to tell that I need to slam down after the jump? I stopped doing that sometimes because it seemed like I wasn't penalizing for just jumping rather than slamming. Should I assume it's always a slam after you're in the air?

Thanks so much for the help!

Yeah the mid-level boss works the same way. The only time you have to pound is when you see one of those boss shields (there's no way to unlock them other than pounding). Pounding has other benefits. If you're streaking, you can use pounds to "energize" upcoming thumps and get your health back or a score bonus. But if you're just getting the hang of the game, it's not necessary to worry about them too much.

As a side note -- I thought the down was simply to signify that you wouldn't fall fast enough if you didn't press down. So I was pressing down and then jumping with space over the next thing - not trying to slam onto it ^.^

[mikesol]

Ah great - thanks so much for your help ^__^

Watch the color of the beats, you'll know when you made a mistake because they'll turn from green (signifying that it's still possible to defeat the boss in that cycle) to blue. Does that help you narrow down where you're missing something?

I was playing this in VR and I looked for a message a few times but never noticed it.

Do you have your HUD option disabled? It's under Options > Gameplay.

This whole time I thought you had to press space again when pounding, but the way you talked about it made it seem like you don't need to. Sure enough, it works with just down, I've been doing pounds all the way through level 8 thinking I had to use space as well :p

I feel like a moron -- even after reading this I can't break the shield at the top of level 3. When you say "down" do you mean the opposite of up? Or click the control stick in (xbox controller)? I see the "down" message but nothing I do will change the way the bug lands. How is this implemented on the Vive controller? Nothing seems to make a difference. Super frustrated.

DOWN means the opposite of UP. We strongly recommend a traditional controller (or a keyboard) over the VIVE controller, but "down" on the vive means "clicking in" the left touchpad near the bottom quarter of it. Hopefully that helps!

The VIVE controller is not the best device for the game, but we support if you really want to play with it.

yeah stuck in the loop at 3-1, im hitting all the buttons propperly otherwise i'd see red and lose the round. My projectile just bounces off the enemyies shield, rinse, repeat. X20 then just return game because this isn't how I imagined spending my day off...

I'm guessing you're pressing the thump button while in the air? Try pressing DOWN only to pound the thump and send the shockwave that will unlock the gate. See: https://thumpergame.com/manual

I know i may be late. But here on better explanation.
Level 3-1
+ The first green tile and spikes. Just jump over it, just like from lvl 2
+ When you reach the second green tile after the spikes. Without releasing the any button, just press the UP button to DOWN, in my case the Joystick going from UP Position to Down position


The thing you guys keep messing up is that you releasing the Jump button. Make the bug Jump down instead of making the wave
