Stop actor from bouncing/flying around everywhere?

MSStudios

Hi, I've been working with GS for a few months now, and have started on my second game, but I've seem to hit a bump in the road. So I have this actor, 'penguin', and another actor, 'ice platform', Now, the core gameplay is to tilt your device left and right, so the ice platform tilts in it's direction, and the penguin, slides across the platform. But, when the platform DOES tilt, the penguin goes VERY slowly, and yes, the friction of both actors are down to zero, and sometimes, the penguin starts bouncing and flying around, anybody know how to fix this?

is the penguin a rectangular collision shape with fixed rotation checked?

..just a shot in the dark

Yes it is, and fixed rotation is not checked

hmm ..would changing the actor to being a circle collision shape affect the game at all? Because that might help.

Just tried it, having it as a rectangular collision shape worked better

I hope I don't have to stop the production of the whole game just because of this :S
