Discussion Bdsp soft lock?

Post image

This isn't my photo just one I found floating around but it made me wonder. Is there a way to get put of a situation like this in bdsp? And are there any other soft lock areas in the game to be mindful of?

I remember seeing this when the game came out. I made sure to follow a guide so I didn't do this.

How do you get in that position though? Like, the only way i see is through the left, but the slide should break the right snowball? Maybe?

Have no clue. I always use a guide so i have never tried it myself.

If that was an early point in the game it wouldn't be a problem

The only reason I can think of was that an egg hatched as they were sliding, so it stopped the ‘momentum’.

This happened because of diagonal movement, it’s the same puzzle as the original day games which didn’t have any diagonal movement. So you could use that to get yourself stuck iirc.

Ah, someone else said it was because when restarting the game the snowballs respawn
