game has horrible controls dont buy it
objectively speaking the games controls are absolute garbage, this isnt a matter of beating the game but a matter of wrapping your head around inconsistent obnoxious controls.

i know people are in denial of its bad controls but theyre just full blown delusional.

thank god steam let me refund this trash.

you're straight up wrong. the controls are completely solid. sounds like you're just impatient and upset you couldn't get the hang of it

This guy is straight up wrong. The controls are completely terrible. The phsyics and controls arent consistent.

there's only 1 way you can be right about that, which is if you have trackpad tuning off. setting it to on will disable mouse acceleration.

every corner of the map behaves in a consistent way and if you're falling its because u dont know how to play

i find these controls perfectly simple and easy to control? (after a while of playing that is)

The game's supposed to have terrible controls. That's what makes it so frustrating.

Even with trackpad tuning turned off, the physics and controls in this game are fully consistent.

everythings hard when you're new. the game wasn't designed to suck, you get better like you would on tf2 or csgo.

true, but mouse acceleration has always sucked

No seriously, I'm pretty sure Bennett said he made the controls terrible on purpose. You could ask him.

and that's the irony, he doesn't even know his own game. i've seen videos of him try and play it himself and he hasn't got nearly as much of a clue how to play as his own players who love the game do. it's like valve accidentally making bunnyhopping.

It's pretty normal for a developer to be nowhere near as good at their own game as a lot of the players. That doesn't mean they don't know the game though.

As for Bennett making the controls awful on purpose; he made the controls as direct as possible, but as good as he can within the game's rules (as he always does if you look at many of his previous games). There have been several threads on here where people had suggestions to 'improve' the controls and the immediate reaction was "that's how I made it at first and it didn't work at all".

quality is completely subjective. Your first statement does not make sense. You just don't like them and want to justify your views. I love the controls. Are they objectively good? No, they can't be. That's not how good works.

Agreed.. i wanted to play a climbing game, not struggle with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ stick..

just turn the trackpad setting on and it works fine. it makes it much easier that way

The game is completely consistent once you understand how the controls work.
Otherwise players would not have fairly consistent finishing times, and they do.
I do.
It typically takes me 20 mins to finish the game, if it weren't consistent it would be completely random how long it took me. It's not.

the controls are deliberately bad. it's part of the torture.
