Hoooooly shit the
platforming sections in world two are awful. I've made jumps in Dark Souls that were easier to pull off.

There any fix to the game crashing/hanging on exit? Not a huge issue but it's annoying having to end task every time.

It's kind of sad the game would have been better had a single Pagie just been sitting where the cart and arcade minigames are and you just walk up to it and get it.

Wally sounds like the late Don Knotts lmao.
Yeah those are definitely my least favorite parts of the game so far. Finicky controls and the gem requirements for Kartos get insane later on.

I still haven't received mine either. It's funny to me how this seems to be such a common issue among Kickstarter projects. I've only backed a couple of games but in each instance the game has always released to the public before I got my copy/key for the game.

Here's something I noticed that makes it a whole lot easier, the platforms are rigged in such a way you'll often just be able to move straight onto them without jumping.
Shovel Knight also randomly appears in the options as one of the talking heads, which is doubly damning there as the game itself is inclined to spoil you.

I was under the impression they don't turn up as menu heads until you meet them, but I'm just assuming as such.
Shovel Knight has the best garbled grunts in the game so far.

You know, I'm really digging the voices. I also get a kick out of the little "talking" portrait animations. Just really cute.

He was one of my pause menu heads at the beginning of World 1.
Haven't met him yet, don't even know where.

WELL THEN, I am shamed.
Same happened for me, met him after seeing him as a talking head in the pause menu. That they'd include cameos there ended up the bigger surprise!He was one of my pause menu heads at the beginning of World 1.

Ugh. I figured memorization and practice were the only ways to do it. Frustrating that the process of practicing and memorizing is such a chore. With something that relies so heavily on trial and error, it's pretty essential that the retry process be the least annoying part. All it does is inspire rage.
You just have to reach the world a character appears in for them to show up on the pause menu.

Yeah I tried that but didn't think it made it any easier really. Doesn't help that it doesn't totally stop when you release the analogue stick, and it requires a little turning circle to spin around. Topped off with the fact that the whole thing takes place over water so you have to go right back to the transformation station to try again makes it even more frustrating.
Got it done in the end but it wasn't very fun.

Damn, that Kartos challenge in Level 3 took me longer than I'd like to admit.
Not in the major cutscenes. In regular gameplay you use X/A to speed up the dialogue just like back in B-K and B-T.

It's not exactly like it tho. It skips ahead and cuts off the voices. BK actually sped up the text & mumbling speed, which I preferred.

Holy shit that rextro racing mini game in world 1 is terrible. Like, how could they think that shit is enjoyable?

Beyond the camera issues it is very easy and quite fun! They could have done a better job explaining the roll mechanic to some people though - I think that's where issues occur.
Felt the boss was fine really. They could have littered a few stationary logs on ramps en route up the mountain that forced the player to learn how to properly jump them though. Too many won't realize that you don't slip down the slope in ball form allowing for high vertical jumps if slow or near stationary.

I played a bit of this so far, and I'm not really having fun. Which is a shame, I backed the hell out of it and was really looking forward to it. Probably just gonna play other stuff for now. The controls don't feel like they have the right 'weight' for a 3d platformer if that makes sense.

I really can't wait to see the 64shader
Yeah, I noticed the designers for this game don't know of the various tricks and techniques other developers use to teach players the gameplay mechanics or whether a location is important or not. One example is the use of shadows in the game; instead of having an important path well lit and having out of the way scenery darkly lit, everything is lit randomly according to the world lighting model, so it's tough for the player to understand and parse the routes and locations within each world.
I think that character will be the protagonist not the villain.

Got to the 3rd World last night. I did most of the 2nd world but could find the thingy you need in order to transform. Also, it's dumb that you get a move that lets you
How do you burn the big blocks of ice that are everywhere?
The 2nd boss was easy but dear lord, the developers put absolutely no effort into it. Such a lazy movement pattern. Holy fuck, it looks like something a flash game would resort to.
3rd world has a really cool design. The top-down maze with the moving walls is really janky.
"absorb" the element of things you lick at yet you can't lick the torches placed around everywhere.

Is there some trick to rolling the seeds in the swamp? Do I have to transform into something or get another move? Right now it just seems super frustrating, trying to roll the seed and having the character going to either side around it, instead of moving it forward and the wind isn't helping.
Yeah, I thought she was an aggressor but based on the guy at the strength test, it seems like they're the bad guys. I'm ready for intergalactic adventures!
You know you can go in to first person mode to aim, right? Click in the left stick.
That's one thing I think the game does poorly. They don't tell you about the first person aiming until you leave the first world and head back towards the entrance of the hub.

Don't know if it's known yet or not, but do you get anything for collecting all of the pagies etc?

You get a new skin for Yooka. It
gives him a pair of shorts since people were complaining that he was naked when the game was first revealed.
The skin carries over into new games so you could do a second playthrough with it.
Game is decent after getting back to it after I raged at the Rextro/Kartus shit last night. There are a lot of hyper questionable design decisions but the game is fun enough I suppose. I think it's better if I just run through all five worlds as fast as possible to get the movesets then start actually collecting everything because the game does such a bad job at telling/showing you what kind of moves you need to get certain paigies.

Are you in the US? Still waiting for mine.
No I had no idea I could go into first person mode. Twenty minutes I just wasted there.
