Really fun little game, great for a having a thing to do with my hands while listening to music and such. Structuring it as a continuous level with places to fall back to previous points makes you master the controls. I could feel myself get more comfortable with manipulating the stick as I redid areas I fell back from. Very akin to Getting Over It.
The main frustration early on was just learning and remembering what keys correspond to what direction on the stick. I would have to tentatively tap the keys to see if that was the direction I wanted to go. But then, at later points, I didn't have the space or time to test and I had to just know what each press would do. Some visual feedback on the stick avatar would make picking up the controls smoother, but that would also diminish the challenge and subsequent accomplishment of mastering the controls. Really, the markings on the stick were all that were needed.
There are some very clever obstacles towards the end that were a joy to figure out how to overcome. Beat it in 2hr, 2 min, 28 sec, and had a good time!
