Seriously what the ♥♥♥♥ is up with the parkour in this game. Wallrunning is so brokenly finicky that three fourths of the time I just bounce off the wall and fall into the instant death pit below. How does one reliably wallrun and walljump? Cuz I sure haven't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ figured it out.

This comes up a lot. I should probably make a video walkthrough for the parkour levels. There's a knack to it that's really hard to explain, you would just have to watch. I've done the sky temple without falling once, I just need to record myself doing it.

You have to press the direction you want to jump to - you just have to get the timings right. This map helped me after I played it a few frustating minutes

The first thing you have to do is a vertical ticktack walljump so once you got that down horitzontal ticktacks like you need for the campaign shouldn't be a huge problem anymore.
There also is a set time, each time you initiat a wall run, it will always end in the same amount of time, it most likelly is something like 3 seconds, you also need to be over a set horizondale speed and under a set vertical speed, easyer to go for the wall run at the peak of a jump done after a full speed run, you take like, a single second to reach max speed on ground.

RaptorTwich say you have to press the direction you want to go, myself, I flick the mouse where I want to go, maybe try both technics.

I kind of, by the grace of god, did manage to finally do it. But not necessarily replicate it. Idk, this game doesn't tutorialize super well and maybe that's part of its charm but I cheesed the entire Lugaru campaign, for example, with the drop kick.

it is required to cheese the Lugaru campaign as Wolves only take damage from legcannon and swords - and since you can't dodge or parry a wolf (which means they hit every time) there is no other way but legcannon/swordthrow and run away

They both are right, the Lugaru campaign have it's own set of chalanges, but the begining of the story really go easy on the player while letting them experiance the querks of the engine and the tricks you can do, where the Overgrowth campaign expect you to already know about that from the get go once the tony tutorial is down, and, Lugaru was the previous game in the series, but haven't played it, I see this story more as a prologue, the way I'd play it for optimal learning curve, is, tutorial until you meet rebel rabbits, flashback to Lugaru campaign, get in that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 5V3 with proper skills.

Whew it has been a HOT minute since I've played this game. Something about hyper-violent furries? I vaguely remember the ice parkour part, there was a lot of wall jumps. I recall rolling while in air (using shift) when leaping from wall to wall. Something like that. You run at the wall, hold space to begin wallrun, then I think quickly tap space to leap off the wall and shift to do the roll?
