- The controls need to be tighter, they're frustrating. Please check #1

A common complaint, but I haven't been giving any concrete advice on how exactly they can be tweaked to feel better. Nothing in that Twitter thread looks hard to implement, I'll try to tighten the physics up for the final release.

- I can maybe understand why you want the camera zoom to change on room size

It's mostly due to the very limited number of art assets I have available and an inability to make more. The camera can be used to show the player things that I want to show them and a room can be made distinct simply by having it's own camera angle.

-  When zoomed out I have to lean in to see my avatar in the torchlight

There's a second brightness adjustment slider during the tutorial in one of the most zoomed out portions of the game, did you miss it or did it not make a difference for you? I don't really have an issue with contrast between the background and character but I think that might be down to having playtested the game enough to be familiar with the way it controls and where the player is relative to the torchlight to notice.

- The music and sound was great though

I'm pretty relieved to hear that, it's where the bulk of the effort went for the project. 

- there were enough lines that made me think it was written by a 14 year old

What in particular didn't sit right with you? Originally the game was going to have only two pieces of exposition (at the beginning and end of the game) and the writing on the walls was added later to serve as an unobtrusive way to communicate the correct path to go and give a sense of progression since the game has no inventory system or anything like that. All of it was written after levels were made and just built around individual scripted sequences rather than as a part of a cohesive whole so I guess it's not surprising if it comes off as cringe.

Thank you for the solid constructive criticism, especially the link to the Twitter thread on platformer feel.
