Swiping is confusing when doing a jumping puzzle

[savethejets]

The swipe gesture is cool, but I think we should have something else also.

When you're jumping between colours it's a bit hard to jump then swipe. I mean it adds a bit of difficulty, but we'd have to avoid multi jumps where there is a time constraint on the platforms.

I was thinking that having a simple tap or double tap on the edge of the screen colour that you wanted to go to would be good for this sort of situation.

It might also have been that the swipe should be inverted from what it is right now?

Anyways this simple jumping puzzle I set up is breaking my brain.

Actually maybe it's fine; the more I play with it.

There is a learning curve, for sure .

Playing around with it now (yay developer's license!) I think it's good, it just needs to give the player more feedback that a 'slide' took place (i.e. with a super quick animation moving the band across the screen or something. Also perhaps having a band on the top to show you your current colour.

Double tap on the side to slide is a bad idea. Doable near the jump button but impossible to do when holding your thumb on the d-pad. I actually think the sliding is pretty wicked. More feedback is key.

Ya I like the band on the top idea.

I'm not sure if #12 will fix this... In fact it probably won't; but you seem to be able to do a swipe if you move your finger from the left dir stick to the right dir stick.

I think we should disable it around the dpad.

12 would fix it, as disabling swipe around the dpad is the same solution.

I feel confident any sliding confusion has been resolved by c5b4375d799e3ec04653f0ad6078da4f5fd7f977 and 32a5ec6acbe5f84040153c2bd28f10087fbac987.
