this game is great—like the original—but, when playing with a controller on the tv (which is how i play almost all of my games), DO NOT press the ‘B’ button as it will exit the game, no matter what screen you’re on.
want to exit a menu by pressing ‘B’… the game closes.
want to exit the pause menu during gameplay… the game closes.
a few of these developers (looking at you HalfBrick Games 👀) make their games available on tv and Mac, but make navigation—which is also not very good on this game—and button presses a complete afterthought.
trying to control the characters is also a bit frustrating, especially when turning corners, as the character will either keep forward or jump directly into a tree when i’m clearly pressing ⬅️ or ➡️ on the D-pad. on top of that, i’m using the original Nimbus controllers (as i’ve had the new versions replaced FOUR times with the same issues), and the menu/pause button does not work at all—expect when i double press it access the app switcher to exit the game—so, i’m not able to access any of the “in-game” power-ups.
i really hope these issues get resolved in the next update so that i can thoroughly enjoy this game to the fullest.
