thank you very much for the comment
the character speed is actually determined by the charge percentage, but i guess making it so you don't speed up if you're still holding Z would make it more intuitive(even if it could be harder to program(like, one extra variable, so difficult))
me and my friends wanna remake this game and give it a proper release, so i'll certainly add that to the final game or a post jam update as an option
also, the soundtrack sucks compared to what i can actually do if i try lol
