I definitely enjoyed seeing the controls more and understanding a bit better what was happening to me.  Possibly a bit more explanation as to what the two boxes mean, I did eventually figure it out but it involved dying which is never fun :)

For the jumping section, I couldn't tell if it was just I am bad at games or if it was too floaty a jump for not having a back control.   Being able to float forward but not backwards essentially meant if you didn't make the first jump perfect there was no point in continuing the run as you would evenutally be off pattern with the jumps, that could be as designed but I didn't enjoy that section I just brute forced through.

Really enjoyed the update.

It's an improvement from the game jam version! The controls on the side make it more clear what's going on (even though they were cut off for me). Controllers not resetting after falling off can be very punishing when you have to repeat a larger section again without the possibility of controlling the character properly.

I also wish that the controls that I do get as a player were more precise. E.g. when i can only control left or right, those inputs should be without delay and in much smaller increments. It's not much fun in a difficult platformer when the character suddenly side dashes even though I just needed him to move a few cm. I think a stronger contrast between what I can control (precise movement) and what is out of my control (sudden movements) could benefit the idea.
