I don't mind SpooceShrubs. I just don't want them to be part of the Gameplay. 3D offers a whole new dimension for Abe to go, so you'd think the puzzles would get a bit trickier - but no they're all about speed, strength and timing of jumps, no 'what happens if I pull this lever...oops'. And so we get SpooceShrubs which are really horendous.
And Abe's flip-jump. There was a bit hoo-ha at OWI Studios about how Abe's jumping could be implemented in 3D. Seems strange that they came up with something so silly. If I press the jump button, I want Abe to do his little hoist-type jump. That way we can bring back the platforms of the Abe games and do away with those terrible cliffs in the wilderness.
And I still don't expect Abe to flip while doing a running jump. Make sure that's in the thing, even if it is just an extension of what Sal said.
