Terrible! I find that a bit harsh to be fair. That word means they couldn't be any worse and I don't know that. Oh that hurt. Now are they perfect? Far from it. Is there stuff to improve that I would if I could? Sure. Are they this way for a reason? Yes. Terrible has landed like an insult, it's a big and powerful word. Whilst I appreciate constructive feedback the comments are supposed to create a reciprocal exchange. I am supposed to go and play your game now. Normally I do that no problems. I will be playing yours whilst carrying an insult around my neck. Not ideal.

Sorry if you got it in the wrong way, I never meant in. In fact as I mentioned, I liked the idea of the visuals. If you need help with the character, just ask.
Saying that something does not work as expected is not an insult at all. Terrible is a word, and it means that, bad. The emotions and interpretation, you did put it. Do not blame for that. If you or the person you are talking with are not both native speakers, or even you are but you live in different place, it is normal that you make different use of the words. If instead you have asked "what do you mean by terrible" or "can you give me some examples", you would have get much better output.
Also, I dont know why you say you are supposed to play my game. Neither you are nor I ever asked. I know where it is and the many things it fails.
I get it. I appreciate that language can be a barrier. I hold no grudges and that's why I gave an honest response. I also managed to not hold a grudge when playing your game. But just so you know 'Terrible' does not mean bad, it means the absolute worst end of the meaning for bad. There is no bad worse than terrible. If you use it, know that that is what you are saying - it could not be badder. If you had given some constructive criticism with it it might not have felt like an insult. I respect that that was not your intention, but that was the result. I appreciate the feedback and that is that. No harm done and the controls are bad enough to need attention.
Glad you understand. I completely disagree with you in the "terrible" thing. There are many more words that means much worse than terrible. In my dictionary are: atrocious, horrendous, abominable, disgusting, a piece of sh*t, useless... the list keeps going on.
Now, focusing on being productive. I believe you used some body physics 3d / 2d. Although that seems the natural way to go, in most of the cases it is not, specially in platform games where you want to control dash and so on. For something simple like the one you were doing I think something like this could work nicely:

(this guy also have really nice videos about controllers for other things in the game, you should have a look in his youtube channel).
I feel you are more artist than programmer, but you manage to finish the game, so that is a great achievement. Keep working hard and you will succeed.
