Hello and thank you for your nice comments, am pleased you have been enjoying the game.
It is quite a challenge to create 2 distinct and separate control mechanics, so will need to find the right balance of purist and modern. They certainly needs a tiny bit more refinement I completely agree.
Apologies for the few silly bugs that exist in the latest build, I will patch these out as soon as time allows, it may be some weeks but it is on the list of things to do. I also want to improve the springboards as a priority, they do not function perfectly at present.
Another thing I am working on is the camera behavior, to behave more in line with the arcade version. It is quite time consuming but along with some bug fixes will try and activate this across the first 4 stages as a taster.
Again, thanks for trying it out!
