Not sure if this message will reach the dev, but it would be really nice if Stalagflight had some documentation. Even a single help screen would have been fantastic. Or maybe a short little dotted line (like Angry Birds) as you point your stick around.

I nearly gave up on the game after 5-10 minutes because I didn't understand that I need to point my stick in the direction I wanted to jump. I thought it just always jumped in the direction I was facing. Without using the stick I was only able to get up to maybe 25m. I thought the game was just absurdly difficult and nearly hit uninstall when I figured out the stick launch direction thing.

    I too was frustrated by this game, I was pushing right assuming that would turn the rock clockwise but they always turned counter clockwise and I thought, this isn't right. Are you saying you don't have to bother worrying about which direction to turn the rocks, just point in the direction you want to go and wait? I need to try this again tonight.

    Agreed. That's another thing... I feel like the rotation controls are backward. In most games, right means clockwise.

    The direction of the rock matters, but not as much as I originally thought. Now, I just get the rock pointed in the general "Up" direction (somewhere between about 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock) rather than trying to "aim" the rock. Then I point the stick in the direction I really want to go and press jump.
