Thanks for playing!
There is a roll switch button so you can use the slower walk mode when wanted. I use that when on platforms, or when I want to take in the environment more. There is also a niche case where you can switch mid-air to change your air control. Earlier on in the jam it was used more before I expanded some ground to prefer the roll movement. I also like the dumb lil waddle it does while walking haha. As I work on the full game, I'll think about how to incorporate the walk more if I can, or change it up a bit, for sure :D
