I played with the new update and the controller camera sensitivity slider made a big difference, thanks for adding it!
I should have phrased my statement re: the start of stage of 37 different as it isn't "wrong" to start you facing towards the closed door so that you know it is there (that's a perfectly valid decision!), I just wanted to point out how long orientating yourself towards actual path forward took with the old controller camera system. Anyways it has been addressed now so it is less of an issue.
FWIW I did manage to finish the last few levels and overall I thought this was a pretty well put together marble rolling game. I won't complain about the reversed directions part as long as you don't complain that I only got through them by holding the controller upside-down :P
