I struggled with the controls in the beginning. Kept getting stuck on the sides and felt like it took too long to turn around. But certainly a game that you can build skill in and improve on future runs.
But i don't exactly love how it plays especially with how awkward the aim is. And i think the part of it is that the first and most common enemy is the eel and when it is facing a player it's a really narrow target, difficult to reliably hit.
I have reached 123 meters before dying.
