    I'm quite sure it's considered an issue. It could eventually be fixed with this.

    At 2:27 timestamp watch Girl build at the bottom of their base. Seems a bit bullshit to me.

    Whoever was commenting in comms knew about the behaviour and warned the builder directly about it.

    This is not unintended behaviour - at one point platforms blocked attacks that weren't physics-based (ie not arrows) and it gave really bad behaviour; basically the platforms would absorb most attacks. So, instead, they're treated as if they're not there for most attacking (bombs excluded).

    Doing the extra calculations to support platform direction detection and all that good stuff in each separate piece attacking code just adds more complication to already messy code, and I don't think it'd add that much to the game to offset that cost.
