Heh, yeah that's how the timer works. Does seem strange upon seeing the result though, may want to display the timer to make it more obvious. I'm pretty set on no air control besides jump/glide/kick, but I'll definitely consider changing it whenever I get back to this game. It's also nice to hear you got the prisms, think they're a little more fun than just doing the main route.
Thanks for playing, and your response, much appreciated!
