• Had the game not recognize the controller a few times.
• All button icons in the menu are keyboard even if using a controller.
• The mouse cursor stays on the screen even when using a controller.
• I tried a couple of controllers and kept getting an issue where movements would stick so if I moved right it would keep going until I clicked another direction. It made it all very awkward and frustrating.
• The foreground art really obscures your view of enemies and jumps.
• Enemies can be the same color as hazards or obstacles making it a nightmare to know what’s going on.
• The games are not great at guiding you forward.
