Hey, thanks for the feedback. The place where the hat float depends on how soon you release the throwing button. In the original game you kind of learn to hold the button all the time. But I was considering to just make it a standard duration with a single press. Just out of curiosity, were you playing in keyboard or with a controller?
I was playing on keyboard. I tried holding at different times, but when running and doing it, I was getting some mixed results. Maybe I need to go back and give it more time. The lack of air control though hurt in getting those exact movements to navigate platforms.
I'm guilty too, as my game, Porter, is fairly floaty, but considering I don't have a lot of finite control requirements, I'm excusing myself, hehe.
