This is, by far, some of the most fun I've had in a 3D platformer.
I don't think I can accurately describe how fun it is to mess with all the options at play, and how easier it is to execute in comparison to something like Mario 64. The amount of moves you have is almost daunting, and to perform some of these moves on gamepad you'll have awkward button combinations like LT, LB and B. I think with all of these moves in play, a Devil May Cry-esque training room to perform each action should be considered, just so you can see/understand the mechanics that you have available to you.
I also want to dedicate a comment specifically to the charge attack. When you hold the attack button and let go, you release a floating platform that grants you an extra jump. If you hold this, and then crouch, you hold this option even without holding onto the attack button. I... want this to be kept very much. Having this option allows you to do so much with this option it is nuts. I love it.
Anyway, the level design is obviously a little rough and perhaps a little too open, but it's just fun to traverse around it and there's a lot of nice little secrets. It's pretty hard to find those five batteries, and collecting 100 coins was pretty hard to do too. But I'm glad I did it, and I hope this to see this a lot, lot more of this game!
it's so nice to hear when the moveset clicks for people and they end up really enjoying it! It definitely takes some getting used to, the movelist lets you know if you wanna deep dive but it's definitely not a good teaching tool haha.
I plan to address this in a few ways in the full release- starting you off more barebones and having a more steady unlock system for your movement abilities and a dynamic input display in the corner, as a couple. Of course with just properly teaching people about this stuff in levels, haha.
Worry you not, charge attack storing is something i'm aware of and intend to keep in. There's actually a lot of ways to do it, basically during any action where pressing attack would not result in a normal attack, so crouching or diving, of course, but if you're sprinting or hovering you should get their respective contextual attacks when you let got of the button instead and still have your charge for when you next hit it.
