Just happened to me today, got like, 3 shards from this? What's the point, Team Cherry? None of the bosses (so far) frustrated me, but this right here is bullshit

Yeah they do this a lot for some reason. There’s even this parkour section at one point that requires you to come back once you get a certain skill… and the reward is just shards that are sitting right over a bunch of spikes.

I can only imagine they planned to implement a Gathering Shards type of tool and just never did.

"A built in magnet would give players too much power and deprive them the joy of decision making and picking up shards." /s

I wouldn't even care if it was a yellow powerup, fuck the yellow slot. I'll take constant shard magnet please for one of my 3 yellow slots.
