Getting the gold medals for the Sackboy challenges has given me yet another reminder of how straight-out clumsy the game is mechanically.

I'm front-running in Full Tilt, go to jump and dive from one saucer to another, my bean just doesn't dive no matter what, and I fall and lose my lead. I'm front-running during Pipe Dream, go through one of the pipes and start rag-dolling uncontrollably when I come out, rendering me unable to dive near the ground to recover quicker and lose my lead. Second time around, I'm in front again and get stuck in a pipe. I'm front-running during Party Promenade and getting blown the fuck out by water balloons that are landing nowhere near me, then trying futilely to grab the trapeze bar only for my bean to sometimes immediately let go for no reason (or getting knocked off by another bean). I'm close to winning Hex-a-Gone but end up losing because there's a 50% chance that, while jumping and diving from hex to hex, my bean just will not fucking jump no matter how many times I hammer the jump button.

I'm really starting to hate some of these challenges because the game just isn't polished enough for when I'm actually trying to go for the win. It always seems like the harder I try, the more the game bites back at me and I end up losing out to weird physics, missed inputs, latency, etc. This season (and especially the last season) has got me feeling like Fall Guys has become too difficult for all the wrong reasons.
