Hey there thanks for posting! They're not, it may be because you're not running the game at a multiple of 640x360 (i.e. 720p or 1080p) which is the native res of the pixel art in the game. There's a setting in the video settings to lock the gameplay resolution to 640x360 that which might address things like that, though I don't think there should be too many other occurrences of artifacts like that so up to you. Might be able to take a look at it and come up with another solution at some point, thanks again! And sorry I didn't see this for a month haha.
Batbarian is a Metroidvania-style game with a good sense of style and sound that keeps you engaged. The dialog is fun, and the gameplay is reasonably hard, but with accessible 'assists' to tone it down if desired. Would definitely recommend to those in for a bit of platforming and mild puzzling.
Just hard enough to feel really satisfying when you get something right, but not so hard that you feel like you can't get it.
Hey there! If you have accounts elsewhere, there are currently playable demos on Steam and GOG. We will also be at Dreamhack Beyond online festival (July 25th - 31st) with a playable demo there as well!
Thanks for your interest in the game, hope that's helpful in determining if it's right for you!
Puzzle platforming Metroidvania that packs quite the punch. The combat isnt really the focus most of the time and even if the jumping mechanics admittedly feel a bit off and it has some hit or miss humor, the game just works so well as its own thing, that its hard not to fall in love with it once you stumble over some puzzles and genuinely interesting rewards that give a proper spelunking mood. Add a pleasant soundtrack, rewarding exploration and secrets and some really nice pixel art on top, and this easily is among the games I most likely would want to buy and play on Switch outside of these impressions to really dig into its 20 hour campaign. Incredibly well designed. 4,5/5

Hi, what kind of controller are you using?
Please put a playable demo out. This game looks like something I'd
like but I need to feel how it plays first. Also, a LINUX build would rock!
Thanks for listening!
