This game is super charming and I want to like it but I'm having serious problems with the camera in platforming sections. It constantly spins around and can be super disorienting. I'm using a ps4 controller. Is there something I'm missing in the camera controls? 

Hmmm, have you tried starting the game without touching the controller before hand? That could help, it's not very likely though. Is it an older controller? Or do you have any problems in other games? You certainly don't miss anything, no :D I fear it could be a problem with the game itself and how it handles your controller. For some reason...
