Summary0004567: Bat inertia is exceptionally high at large level gap.
DescriptionI was spelunking in caverns 10 or so levels over me, and i found the boss bats were unbelievably easy. The bats were 25-26 whereas i was level 14. The problem seems to be that they build up a degree of speed rapidly, zoom past, and grind their faces into a wall for 10+ seconds while they manage deceleration and acceleration in my direction.

Even though they nearly took off half my health if they hit me, i could usually kill both without a potion.

I think this is a remnant from when they used to be able to fly in great big circles around the outside of the level.

I don't think anyone told them they can't go through walls anymore...

Oh they do seem to be trying to turn around and get back at me. It's almost like the AI controls acceleration primarily, and velocity and position are calculated from that. If the velocity perpendicular to the surface being collided was reset to zero, it'd make slippery and very dangerous bats.

Josh, can you look at this in the latest versions? I don't think this is an issue anymore, but I want to confirm it's dead. :)

They seemed to get stuck a lot, but, I think that's because it was a cave with a lot of little platforms everywhere. But they recovered quickly and cleaned my clock pretty good, several times.
