Thanks for the kind words! And that's kind of how you're supposed to play. Obviously, ideally you nail every jump and never slam into a wall and make it all the way to the top cleanly. But once you do mess up, the best course is to jump higher than the wall in front of you, get off the pogo, walk forward, and then get back on your pogo to maintain jump height and scale up buildings. Maybe disappointingly, you're playing it right!
