This was a very cool concept, and I like the art style and the music a lot! But one thing that kept tripping me up was the directions of the joystick. I wish that the arrows were more pointing (from top left then counter clockwise) left, down, right, then up. With the directions of right and down being swapped, it kept tripping up my brain, leading to a reset of the levels. I do wish the sliding was a little less slippery since the directions were jumbled. Between the two, it was really difficult for my brain to switch from one thing to another. I did play on PC, not controller, so maybe it would be different with an actual joystick
