The controls are super smooth, which I really like! This game extremely polished and well made too. I actually didn't know what the wind currents increased your speed did until reading your description, maybe some extra VFX could sell this a bit better.
One last thing is that I'd somewhat struggle with depth perception, particularly when telling how far away lightning would be from my character - but it wasn't game breaking or detracted from my enjoyment. This is a great game!
