Thank you so much for trying it! Do you have any advice on how I could fix the clunkyness?

I like that idea a lot more, and I think it would work if I added controller support. I wanted the player to be able to dash in any way they wanted to without restricting them to the 8 ways of movement using WASD, but I agree that this caused more of a disconnect on the movement mechanics. Continuous wall idea sounds really cool too, maybe I could have added power ups on the playing field that recharge wall length, and given the player an option to spawn walls without dashing.
I really appreciate the input!
