Do you ever find yourself unable to squeeze through a gap you just squeezed through?

[Olly7]

Quite often I'll squeeze through a narrow gap, like when there's a bush on a narrow path, or a tree at the edge of a cliff etc, and when I try to go back I can't. Or it takes loads of tries until I magically pop through again despite not doing anything different than I was already doing.

Does this happen to anyone else much?

 

[Sidney]

YES!! It also happens to me with my skinny rivers. Sometimes I jump over real fast and sometimes it takes multiple tries to get across.

 

[Serabee]

Yes, it's weird.

But... I'm quite clumsy and awkward in real life, so at least it's realistic

EDIT: My guess is it MIGHT be on purpose so you don't slip through, and then accidentally slip right back through? But there are times I end up just giving up and finding another way around

 

[Hobowire]

yes. cant get back then save and exit.

 

[Xeleron]

Yes .-. that and jumping over holes... like I just jumped over you! why don't you let me jump over again?!!!!

 

[Pyoopi]

Yeah, I have tiny areas that I sometimes shimmy into and then I get trapped.

 

[Rosch]

It happens most of the time. I can continually squeeze through tight spaces as long as I don't stop moving. Because once I stop midway, it blocks you.

Many people take advantage of the shimmy when doing island obstacles for party games. It's actually fun.

Yeah the hopping over water one too! I'll do the exact same thing but for some reason I can't jump the second time

Yeah possibly! They seem to make it way too hard though at times Usually I just climb down the cliff with my ladder and go back up a bit further along.

Haha, I have this narrow river near my museum which I can usually hop over with ease, unless I have something I'm really really excited to give to Blathers, then my character will for some reason hop only at a veeeery specific angle.

i just want to get rid of all the sticks my cedar trees have dropped please please just let me squeeze past please ive done it hundreds of times please im begging you

 

[BetsySundrop]

All the time!! Soo frustrating....

 

[Shellzilla_515]

It happens to me sometimes, especially small spaces between the trees and the river. I had to put the joystick at a precise angle for my character to squeeze through space. In some places, it's a one-way passage. I can get through in one direction but I can't go back to where I was.

 

[Feraligator]

Yeah it happens all the time between trees for me. If you just stop moving then try to exit again quickly it normally works for me.

I think that there are some gaps you can't get through while running. If you walk it will work, in my experience

 

[Noctis]

Yes omg I don't understand the logic. Sometimes it takes me several tries to finally get out of that narrow gap.

 

[Xara]

literally all the time. in my funfair/carnival area, i have 1 of each springy ride-on surrounded by the rope fence near a cliff and one minute, i can squeeze through just fine and the next, i literally have to ram myself into the gap over and over again until i can squeeze through again lmaooo - it’s hella frustrating, especially when i’m in a rush

 

[John Wick]

Yep and I have to dig up a bush to get out. LOL

 

[Skandranon]

all the time, especially trying to go back through from the opposite side

 

[Mairmalade]

Yup! Usually happens when I have trees next to a curved river. I’m then putting more force into moving the joystick thinking that will actually work.
