The animal hitboxes in this game.
At first I'd like to say that this game is amazing. The Led Zeppelin IV soundtrack, the edge-cutting graphics and the amazing, deep and refined character make this game one of the best I've ever played. The movement requires so much skill, even phoon would not pass any of these deeply designed levels on the first try. But I have a big complaint with this game and it is the bear and bird hitboxes (B&B hitboxes, as my elitist ring of Snowman in Russiap players like to call them).

To sum it up: The bear hitboxes at first, are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horribly obnoxious and unbalanced. The times I've died to the bear from ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ distances amount to such frustration that I decided to write this forum post instead of reviewing the game happily. The bear gets so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ frustrating that I actually tried to harm myself with a kukri because of this game. Thats how close to death this absolute masterpiece brings me to. But I also experienced ecstasy from this game. The first time I played this game was like trying amped-up metamphetamine. So, overall it's a pretty positive experience so far.

The characters are so deep in this game, it's unbelievable. The main character (the snowman, obviously.) is a solid 10/10 waifu, and those ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ snowballs get me so hard nearly every time I look at them. Also the two bunnies riding with a snow mobile at the background reflect the main characters escapism to nature by skiing in his own privacy, yet still in the middle of nature.
The most of the animals in this game are certainly portrayed as evil beings, the bear and the bird especially. There is one good animal character, and that is the bear which appears in front of you when you pick up a balalaika. Seeing this old friend always catches me by surprise, and to see him makes me want to carry on completing the level. It's his way of saying "Go on, komrade. Please make me happy friend.". Just reflecting on the times I've seen him brings a tear into my eye. Since I've gotten depressed, the bear is my only friend and the times I've imagined him in the real life are some of the best times of my life in general.

The music is absolutely breathtaking, with the balalaika playing being ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ marvelous, this ♥♥♥♥ beats all of the greats in rock history like Queen, Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, though I'm suspicious that the soundtrack itself is made by the latter. When you pick up the balalaika mid-game, the most heartfelt, nationalist balalaika solo is delivered to you, hand-picked by the developers.

Now, back into business with the bird hitboxes. The bird is the reason of self-harm for me in this game, and seeing my lovely snowman friend getting hit by this ♥♥♥♥ is one of the worst feelings I experience on a day-to-day basis. The bird also appears randomly, and sometimes you collide with the bear and the bird. This has me screaming in anger and frustration, the RNG in this game is usually ♥♥♥♥ for me despite it being amazing otherwise.

In conclusion, the B&B hitboxes are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible. Please fix them devs, or I will take action against you legally. Also, ♥♥♥♥ the log.

With love from Russia.
