Thank you for the kind words <3
Yea a lot of people pointed out the controls. I think most of it is due to the trail behind the player and the fact that the speed "changes" when you switch layers. It doesn't really change but the ground moves so the player moves slower. I actually like that it isn't exremely responsive in the far layer, but since a lot of people pointed that out I will try and play with it.
Yes I didn't have someone to playtest it for me and I'm a pretty hardcore platformer guy so it's hard to balance. Will do it for sure after the jam.
Thanks for the detailed critique, appreciate it.
