I appreciate the feedback on the controls. I think the issue you’re running into is, you don’t need to hold down into the wall to slide. As soon as you start sliding, you will slide indefinitely. You can simply time your jump and will connect to another wall if it is there. That was easier for the kids playing my game, so I removed the need for using the directional input at all while wall jumping. When I revisit the controls, I will remove pressing away from the wall as the way off, only allow jumping or a predefined exit button.
The jumps in order are, jumping into the wall, jumping into the wall while holding left and then releasing on contact, jumping into the wall while holding and continuing to hold, jumping from the wall with only pressing jump, jumping from the wall while pressing jump and right, jumping from the wall while pressing jump and left (2x), and then jumping from the wall while holding the jump button.
