Thank you for your kind comments! :D
Yeah, quite a few people that played the game seemed to think the pom-pom was a bit unwieldy to deal with. That's definitely something we'll have to revisit once we start expanding the game.
I guess the thought behind it was that, while the B button is held down, you're in aiming mode and the d-pad doesn't affect your movement at all. Then, releasing B will shoot the pom-pom in the direction that is currently being held.
Now, this does mean that you have to release B before changing directions on the d-pad which is admittedly a bit finicky.
