It feels a bit smoother compared to my last time playing, but the gameplay is still pretty rough, specifically with the Spike enemies. They constantly clip out of place for me, which has led to Mario getting spawn camped at times or unable to pass areas.
Specifically, the area with the two Spikes stacked in the middle to snipe either path, and the section a bit higher above with the Podoboo lava pool followed by the Spike are issues for me. In the earlier example only the top Spike does it, but in either case they will clip out of where they obviously are supposed to be and then hover above Mario in midair dropping spikes.
Still, i do enjoy the animations a lot, and I'm excited to see where those screenshots on your twitter lead!
