I think this is a pretty good idea but I am not sure about how big of an audience you'll pull in.
Just as soon as I thought I understood it and it felt good, the second stick came in and then I basically felt like I was relearning the game all over again. I understand frustration is a core element of these types of games but it feels downright sadistic. I struggled so hard with just the basic "walk across this thing" minigame.
I honestly feel like simply allowing for both sticks to pass each other would be enough to rectify the difficulty curve. It's hard enough to mentally visualize the movement with both sticks, but adding extra restriction like that is taking the difficulty from a 10 to a 20. Maybe make it an extra option? Like an extra challenging mode?
The art style is simple and nice, I like the aesthetic.
The chatter-text audio bits from the NPC was kind of grating. Not a fan.
I did not get very far before I lost interest. I am not a fan of Getting Over It, but I imagine fans of that kind of game would be very interested.
I dunno why jump is on left trigger for some reason felt weird to use that when the face buttons are right there and the only time I saw them used was to interact with something, which means you have 3 other face buttons there.
Oh yeah one other thing: Not sure how to explain it very well but when your character is on stick and you go to (0, 0) input in that stick, trying to go back to the angle you're currently at is VERY frustrating and can result in unintended movement. I don't know how you could rectify this but it's definitely a problem considering the nature of the game and how even slight movements can move your character.
I got a bit past this but got pushed all the way back, didn't want to play more, but I can appreciate the effort and ideas that are in this game.
