I dunno...everything is just so remarkably slippery. Feels like Spartacus has banana peels attached to his sandals. Gonna try one more time, because this is genuinely my thing. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #5 metalcasket, Mar 21, 2020 Thing is, there's also up and down movement. I think what they've done here is the best possible solution, but Jesus Christ I can't get over poor Spartacus' inertia, or whatever's causing him to slip and slide all over the place. Also for the love of Zeus, please let us switch the button controls. Capronissimo71 Well-Known Member Sep 5, 2011 1,305 137 63 Male Italy #6 Capronissimo71, Mar 21, 2020 Yeah, you’re right, it’s like oil on the surfaces! stubbieoz Well-Known Member Jun 23, 2015 1,880 358 83 Male Grey haired gamer NSW Australia #7 stubbieoz, Mar 26, 2020 The movement control is absolute rubbish, with no options to try and somehow correct it. Having the camera up/down included in the forward/backward movement makes the screen move all over the place. I couldn’t play longer than a minute. Maybe it is less terrible on another device, I’m playing on a big iPad. How something as bad as this doesn’t get fixed in the alpha/beta testing stages is beyond my understanding.
