I agree the controls may take some getting used to. In hindsight going for a genre many aren't familiar with might not of been the best approach... The genre is somewhat familiar to me. However that doesn't mean everyone else is too! It was just the inital concept I had, and that early on I wasn't thinking along those lines. Gives me more to consider upfront for the next jam.
I'm glad you were able to adapt to it though, and I appreciate the kind words. Thank you!
