Not playable with keyboard (MacOS)

[Mombirb]

After many frustrating hours (6 hours in and only halfway in green) trying to make jumps with the character responding either over or under sensitive to keystrokes, I have now arrived at a point where I can not continue the game. When I double tap the space bar to make a 'double jump' for the first time the character just never gets high enough to get up where it needs to go. I see the game behave differently when controlled with a keyboard compared to the gameplay I see in walkthroughs from someone using a controller. Unless anyone has a suggestion for me I am going to have to abandon this game.

well, i dont have mac, but this played quite adequately for me on a potato laptop with just a plain, non-gaming kb+m setup (WIN10), with no controller and these clunky old hands...
so, i'm guessing it's unlikey to be specifically a keyboard issue

getting a feel for the doublejump may take a bit of getting used to. the timing of the double is NOT to be done "as fast as possible", but more spaced out: jump + jump. and getting the balance/timing right between the forward and the up also may just need a bit more practice on your part.
maybe?

HOURS of intense and concentrated trying. The instruction I get is 'hold space'. I soon figured out I have to tap space and with a short delay and very exact timing tap space again and hold. Tapping any more has no added effect. It never gets the same lift as seen in a runtrough. I am on a MacBook Air with OS 13.2.1 (22D68). I tried if changing the keystroke sensitivity settings helps, but no effect i could discern.

sounds like you're getting the hang of it - good for you :-)

possibly the game would be easier with controller, I wouldn't know about that,
but certainly it IS playable on just a basic keyboard

good luck for the rest of the game - there are a couple of difficult spots ahead, but you'll get through it (*thumbs up* - sorry I seem to have lost access to my emojis here for some reason...)

I found someone willing to have a look at it. They soon concluded the gameplay wasn't okay. After some searching they found it had to do with the frame rate settings. After that was adjusted I breezed through the game.
