I can press the key to move Zacky several times and he might only hop a few places. Sometimes he continues to jump after I'm finished pressing the key too, when pausing in front of a Wacky, mostly ending up getting clobbered. This happens often with the logs, too... many times I'm just moving towards the edge to jump off to get vegetables and it kind of blips him into the water when the log is at the edge of the grass.
I also notice the other enemies speeding up and slowing down in an erratic pattern.
This probably happens due the internet connection, though.... when the relay is slower because of the server activity, the refresh on the game you are playing is also slower. So you can tap the movement key 5 times and only 4 of them register... or vice versa... you tap a bunch and they ALL register in latency and send your guy into the drink.
Very annoying yes- but it's not really the game's fault... it's the internet connection. I have played in the middle of the night before and it works perfectly and I get very far in the game. Other times I play at 7pm or so (when a lot of other people are online) and I end up losing all my men before level 3.
One of these times I'll get it. I'm getting close..... |
