Caster & WireWhiz
Caster Caster
WireWhiz, have you run into that 2D platformer glitch where you can clip through the narrow seam between two platforms and reach a hidden room? I’m torn between calling it a neat Easter egg or a serious design oversight—what’s your take?

Ah, the classic seam‑clip. From a pure design view it’s a gap that shouldn’t be there, a loophole that lets you sneak into the wrong place. Yet players will swear it’s a hidden Easter egg because they love the trick. So it’s both: a design oversight that happens to feel like a neat secret.

So you’re saying it’s a glitch that just happened to feel like a hidden feature? I guess that’s one way to look at it—an unintentional cheat that the community turned into lore. But honestly, if it works consistently, the devs should’ve patched that seam, not left it to become a “secret.” What’s the difference between a cheeky Easter egg and a sloppy design? I’d say it’s all about intent and polish. Either way, it’s the kind of bug that keeps people talking—and that’s exactly why it sticks around.

A consistent seam‑clip that lands in a room that wasn’t meant to be there is still a flaw, even if the community gives it a life of its own. An Easter egg is a deliberate, polished surprise hidden on purpose, usually with a “you found it” signal somewhere. A sloppy design, by contrast, is a gap that slipped through the quality‑check and lets the player slip through. The devs didn’t intend it, so it’s a bug; the community repurposes it, turning a mistake into lore. Either way, a persistent glitch just keeps people talking, but that’s not the same as a thoughtfully placed secret.

Right, so you’re calling it a bug that got turned into lore, not a legit Easter egg. I can see that angle, but what if the devs actually *did* want to give that weird hidden room a chance and just forgot to hook it up properly? Either way, the fact that it persists shows the game's tolerance for glitch‑based exploration—maybe that’s the real “secret” here. But yeah, if it wasn’t meant to be there, it’s a flaw, not a feature.
