As a Toree 1 and 2 fan, I felt a few things I liked and a few I didn't. Though the ones I didn't aren't really game breaking, I guess.
The main thing I noticed is the lack of precision. Since Toree is always running, he drifts a lot. I'm not sure if he always was like this, but in the previous one he certainly felt easier to make sharp corners by quickly letting go of run. Sometimes I kinda felt the need to quickly stop, even if for just a split second.
The second one imo is a little more troublesome. But the homing being the jump button means I can never quite do what I want. Toree will turn back and dash to a target that I had already passed, or, most importantly, I couldn't do the double jump when I wanted to. This lack of certainty over what Toree would do certainly made the game feel awkward and would detract me from attempting to lower my clear times (if the demo had more than one level, I still S ranked this one lol).
The best way I can describe is: The last part, with the 4 stars, You can easily (and unintentionally) go from the 2nd star to the 4th, and then you can't jump up the gap, because when you try to double jump you will actually dash into the 3rd star, and you now have to fall and try again.
I would really recommend adding another button for the dash (and maybe use another one to allow Toree to slow down so I can make sharp turns? idk lol, I can hold back on the analog stick, but I didn't feel super good when I tried it).
Outside of that, no major complaints. The level is fairly basic, and normaly I'd call it boring with how much it is just speed boosts and jumping, or the lack of checkpoints, but in the end it's just a demo, so no big deal.
Also, would be cool to have setting for how fast the camera resets with the left trigger, I use mainly that and it feels slow in this game
Anyway, best of luck, the game has been wishlisted for me for a while now.
