Pretty self-explanatory; bumpers currently don't have all that much use as far as I can tell, and it would be really fun if they could redirect pushed blocks with ice physics.

Indeed.

Yes mistress.

Great idea
Any word on when this’ll be added?

Visually, it looks a bit like the ice block is stopping and then being pushed by the bumpers because it slows down before gaining momentum again. If that’s a stylistic choice, you can disregard this nitpick

its just the physics engine
i can try if i can make the velocity change instantaneous

That would be cool if you can make it work but no pressure

Will we be able to redirect blocks perpendicularly with a setup like this?
cause that would be awesome
blissful quest
no
that would be way too finnicky
i'd rather have a diagonal bumper for that
that would be more intuitive and less finnicky

I get that
vapid gorge
euh idk for diagonal cuz that mean you have to also being able to push an ice block diagonally imo

Bumpers have always seemed a little bit finicky to me anyway because their hitbox doesn't extend into the block in front of them at all so you can't do stuff like this
like you need to have some form of forward momentum
blissful quest
yep bumpers are finnicky indeed

Anyway i'm satisfied with the implementation of this suggestion, and I can't wait to play around with it! (:
