Let's be fair, the controls being slippery isn't really on purpose ahah. Game jam games aren't great for gettng things like this right. And I can't fix it because the whole game balance is working with these controls :/
Haha, I totally know that feel! "fixed" my controls once at rather late in a jam, and it became instantly too easy to be fun. Few precious hours that I'll try not waste in future jams. :D
