Huh strange, haven’t had anyone else report this bug. When you got an upgrade (if you got past this bugged start) did the item get screen appear with the pink background? It seems to me like for whatever reason when the game runs for you the background used for the screen that is usually attached to the player was made detached and visible.

ok so with a lot of guessing and pain managed to move past the pink cube and did reach the spring
will say the robot by default i feel should be able to at least jump 1 block without a running start
upgrade system is neet on the fact you select what button you want, though it should tutorial to drag the item to the desired slot
