Thanks for the reply.
I'm very glad you are trying to stick with it. It means a lot. Hopefully you can make the controls more comfortable for yourself soon.
About the sections where you can fall down a long distance; This is something that I'm very much aware of and that I also did on purpose. In past games I often had segments like this because I think it breaks up the level design quite nicely and I just like the design in general, but I can understands why people don't like it. I tried to not have too many of those sections in the game and also to not make them too punishing.
