Major bug

If the brick wall is the first situation to solve. The controls don’t work. If it comes up later the up button works fine fix it now. Will have it be fixed????

Buggato e ingiocabile

Spesso nella scena dove si precipita sulla piattaforma tonda viola non si riesce a saltare via e si muore. Se scegli di continuare quella stessa partita rimani bloccato in un loop infinito. Quindi devi ricominciare una partita nuova sperando che non si riverifichi il bug. VERGOGNOSO veramente, dato il prezzo vergognoso anch’esso di questo gioco ingiocabile.
