Downloading it now .. going to spend some quality time with Galak-Z tonight once the kids are asleep.

Let you know the results later on.

Keep up the great work on a fantastic game.

P.S. Who was the massive "Battle of the Planets" fan at 17bit?

Hello, first of all I want to say the game is great, but is very frustrating when some problems appear. Yesterday I was playing through season 3, after some minutes of playing on (3-5) the transform button stopped working. This is the third time it happens to me since I have the game. Other thing I saw, I found an alien bug trapped on the walls. I hope you can fix this problem!

Hey Dohko,

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having problems! You said the transform button stopped working - just randomly, in the middle of the level? It wasn't a Recovery mission, was it? After spending 5 Crash Coins to begin a Recovery mission, all of your equipment (including the ability to turn into a mech) is tucked away in a chest somewhere in the level. Is it possible that's what you're seeing?

If not, I'd love to get some more details from you about the circumstances in which the mech stops working for you.

Hi guys,

Patch 1.04 seems pretty solid but there are still moments when you have explosions or lots of things happening where stalls and framerate drops. I'm not sure if it's because of an audio glitch perhaps as I've had stalls when simply entering different sections of the map.

The transform speed is heaps better so thanks for tweaking that a bit.

Keep up the great work and if I can only get to Episode 3 I'll be happy .. always get destroyed on the last chapter!

Cheers,
Alan

While in the Raider king level mission 4-5 after leaving the Raider base the gate had shut behind me, but on the left side it had remained open. I then tried to enter and I was able to enter inside. I have only had this on one occurrence and wanted to know if that happens, if not say something to at least help fix a bug, if needed I can try and recreate what I had done to see if it happens again. I tried to put the picture in here but it claimed the file was too large, i had sent a message through twitter with the same handle as this username @Daxter092 so please veiw the photo there.Thanks for your time.

Hey Daxter,

We just discovered that bug recently as well! Thankfully, it doesn't seem to be a game breaking issue so we're not going to be addressing it immediately but it is something we'll be correcting in the next update. Thank you for reporting it!

Hey Alan,

Glad to hear the game's been performing better for you! We're a bit focused on cranking out the Steam version right now, but there will be further performance gains in the next PS4 update we put out. Unfortunately, it probably won't be for a little while, maybe even as late as the Season 5 DLC update.

Hi! I'm sorry, yes I was in a recovery mission. Where does it say about the chest!?

It's supposed to mention this the first time you do a Recovery mission, but I think that it's not very clearly worded at the moment. We'll revise this to make it more clear in future updates.
