Hah, yeah, that's what I do in the past years, but I did participate in many jams years ago and wanted to get back to this a bit!
Thanks for all the feedback, totally agree. Combo was on the TODO list, even started working on it, but ultimately didn't manage to find the time. Drag and release as an extra option on top of (fixed) regular controls, when the time slows down, sounds like something I'll definitely try to implement to see how it works. Thanks!
