Unfortunately I don't have all that much useful to say about this, the animations are much better than last time I played this. I don't think it had any music either last time and it makes a huge difference, getting a banging soundtrack will be absolutely vital.
I don't know if its intentional, I didn't manage to do it again, but at one point I got stuck going backwards with the character facing the camera. Could control like normal otherwise and got into the right orientation by changing direction in the air.
Anyway, "just" polish it up a lot and fill it with content and you're good to go I think. With some sweet tunes.
