Cheers! I spent basically the whole jam on the character controller lmao, so I'm glad it works well. There are a couple of small annoyances with it, yeah, but they aren't common and it's not game breaking :)
So I found with cheesing the boss, that you don't actually beat it very quickly when you do that - the turret is too far out of the way to be doing damage ;) I intended to add a timer leaderboard to it to incentivise getting a quick kill, just didn't have time :(
