I am not enjoying Bopimo! - Honest Opinion Thread

To open with, I want to mention the leaderboard system and how it encourages speed running, that's lovely, it's very fun to keep playing levels to get your best time, but this made me notice a lot of issues

Player Collision*
It's completely frustrating to keep doing a speed run, or just a normal playthrough in general and constantly be bumping into other players. For example, the hill segment everyone is struggling with on the tutorial. Over and over I get bumped into because there's just a bunch of people standing around in that area, speed running that is just incredible inconsistent. And honestly, this goes both ways because players can be bounced off of and be used as a way to keep momentum. It just feels shoddy as a whole if the leaderboard is encouraging competition but players cannot even compete fairly. There should be a way to have a private instance or turn player col off as a whole.

*Gameplay*
The movement feels quite scuffed, the player feels extremely floaty, which I can understand if that was the intention but it makes me have no confidence in where my player is going to end up, and I honestly avoid using the stomp feature at all. Its way too long to get out of the animation. On that topic, the animation for dying also takes far too long. It just makes dying more frustrating, and the stomp feels just pointless in a speed run because of how much time it takes to get out of it. I feel like if the player was less floaty, the moves chained together a bit better, it would make the platforming a lot more fun. I think I can also throw in that if the animations themselves of the player were a bit smoother and fluid that alone can make the game feel so much better, but they are all also kind of floaty and slow. Nothing necessarily feels good to pull off. Also the roll mechanic is just pretty confusing and that's apparent from how many people were struggling in the tutorial world at launch, I've seen so many players stuck there the whole time just because they didn't know that pressing buttons while rolling kills the momentum that much.

I forgot to mention, the player syncing also makes this confusing? At least from a speed running perspective. Like, disappearing platforms can just be gone cause of someone just had running through it. It's just a weird choice, I feel like if you're going for leaderboard time there should be a setting for it in which you can't collide with anyone and you aren't synced with the world. These things go both ways because this can either AID your time or HINDER it

* Just realized this also applies to hitting a surface after a dive, you fall down very slow and it's just annoying

*Misc./Dev

I think seeing text chats from very far away is quite distracting. Also the client should 100% have a master volume slider I think that always just makes things easier.

These are my opinions. I'm a huge fun of platformers, and games based off of UGC. I am very in love with the concept of this game but I just haven't been able to enjoy it outside of my excitement for it's release. I have several clips at my pc at home about some of these things if they need to be shared. Hopefully the team can see where I'm coming from 🙏 I would love to aid in helping the game in anyway I can.

Does anyone else feel similar about any of this? What are you experiencing with this game atm?
