I don't know what's happening, but the majority when I hold down to freeze soda, he doesn't freeze, and hits me anyways. I don't know how to fix it

Hey Cheesebuscuit, good question. Is it possible you have a right or left input in while holding down? Soda will refuse to freeze if you have a diagonal input in.

It's also possible you aren't holding down long enough. If you release down too early, Soda will smack you.
