I agree with the other comments, the idea is really cool. I don't know if this was intended but the character felt very 'floaty' which made me feel like I was less in control of the character.
Yes that was intentional, because if it wasn't the player would never fall off the platforms. So the player will also have to learn to control their speed by slowing down with moving in the other direction or using bullets to slow them down. Thank you for playing my game!
