The floaty thingies have an odd timing to it. You need to jump before you land on them to actually jump and it throws me off a LOT. Not sure if it goes for everyone but I know it does for me.
i agree with this guy. imo games like this one should be easy. its not exactly the type of game you want to spend a whole lot of time on trying to platform or hunt for items. making things a little easier & obvious would be better. to each their our i guess. nice animations though
