Does the game get any better after the first level?

Not trying to enrage any Untitled Goose Game enthusiasts here or whatever, but even as a "meme game", this game seems pretty horrible? I bought it on sale recently along with a bunch of other games and decided to try it out today. I played through the tutorial and most of the first level, but eventually I just said "why am I putting myself through this?" and turned it off. So here's my question, does it get any better? I highly doubt it but still, does the incredibly dumb AI, super weird hitboxes and barely functional controls ever get better? I'm playing on keyboard & mouse if that somehow affects the answer btw.

If you did not enjoy the first level, the rest of the game won't change your mind, just refund it.

Bought it like a month ago so too late to refund it, and I mean it was like 10 bucks so it's not much. I just expected a much more polished game, as I feel like this level of jankiness is unacceptable for a simple game like this

How is that an excuse for the controls being incredibly floaty and inconsistent though? Portal 1 & 2 for example are puzzle games too, yet the controls are great and so are the hitboxes? Anyway, I finished the game already and it was decent, but still the controls are inexcusably bad.

Dude, that's a goose with clipped wings, not a fully fit human. It behaves just as it should :D

One thing I didn't realize immediately, which may help you, is that to turn quicker you have to stop running. And you can crouch-run under stuff to easen up some pursuits.

But yeah, the game doesn't get any different, it just gets "more of it". Tasks are harder, both to pull of and actually guess what is to be done.

Generally... if you don't like first level, you won't like further ones. AI is actually pretty good, they for example remember everything they've seem, which can undo your carefully laid plan just because someone sees a stray sock somewhere where it should not be and then sees plenty of other stuff.
