The controls really do suck ass
I understand the game is meant to be hard and by doing so the controls are supposed to be difficult, but the character shouldnt spazm out and randomly retract and extend his arms when doing a full circle. i just got launched off of the rocks above the orange because mid swing he pulled his arms in then pushed out.

maybe its my mouse but no other game has spaz issues but this one. until then this game isnt on my hard drive anymore.

Struggling and learning the controls is a big part of the game.
You are right to delete it if you can't find the appeal in it.

You get used to them after a while. I am stuck at oranges, and I have gotten pretty decent at the previous bits to the point where I do Naruto wall hops and move pretty fluently.

That's something that applies to any game and even real life: With practice movement and flow become natural, and then you can start moving on to strategy and advanced techniques.

most controls have a basic "If this, then that" flow to them...this game feels super janky to me, where the exact same speed and distance moved with the mouse can leave you with an assortment of actions by your character. I totally see the struggle and appreciate it, but the random reaction ♥♥♥♥ all controls make it feel more like a cheap fail and not my inability to realize what should be done.

The controls have 0 random behavior to them. If your claim was true, then speedruns wouldn't be possible.
In fact, the controls are so precise, that it is 100% your own fault if you mess up.

This game is a mirror of your own ability or inability to grasp motion control.

I have seen the speedruns and i do agree that the controls from their perspective look flawless, maybe it is my mouse. I guess I should try a different one?

I guess you can try a different mouse, something that feels more comfortable to use can be helpful. Though I personally think it doesn't matter what kind of mouse you use. I'm using an old generic mouse and I can play the game just fine.

I would advise turning on trackpad tuning and set the sensitivity to lowest, then gradually increase it to a point where you can move around the hammer comfortably. It is important that you do things nice and slow at first while being conscious of your mouse movement.

No it's probably just you as a player being inadequate (not even trolling I'm being serious)
I feel ya and feel the same. Lots of people have become super good at the game and that shows that the controls are definitely learnable. But I still refuse to deal with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ controls. played it for 20 mins and then refunded it lol.

try using trackpad tuning, this helps for some. otherwise mess around with the sensitivity until you're comfortable with it. also consider a mousepad.

most first time runs take somewhere 5-8 hours afaik.
you've played for 4.5. you can beat it if you put a little more time in.
