Aurora Drift

Just coming back here to say thank you for a really fun game! Keep coming back to it and it's always a great time xD I hope it sees more development because... well, it's really cool and deserves more attention!

ok... so... with new control remapping, I felt more confident trying out the other abilities. I still have the original build too, so I can compare the changes between the two.

In both builds, the "release to throw" input on the blue orb throws you in the current movement direction, and releases the orange orb to drift based on its direction when you release the button. When holding the orange orb though, the "release to throw" input used to always throw toward the cursor, and now it doesn't. If there's no button mapped onto a mouse click (or if the "ability 2" button is the only one, since it doesn't seem to function yet), it throws in the direction of movement, and with at least one mouse button mapped, it usually but not always throws in the direction of the cursor. Makes me wish this behaviour was consistent about aiming at the cursor, or customisable on whether it fires in movement or cursor direction.

Also, the orb ability has issues after the update. Before, it was awkward because it required me to hold my finger down on the touchpad for a mouse click input, while also holding the ability button. Being able to remap the buttons so I can choose which to hold should have fixed this, but now I have to aim with movement inputs, not the cursor (and unlike the basic orb throw, doesn't fluctuate with input changes). It also has a default drift to the right, aiming that direction by default. Requiring up to 4 buttons being held at the same time is... problematic. Was awkward before, but much less so than the updated version.

Swap remains my favourite ability, with orb being my second pick in the old build and vortex in the new build. If I had cursor aim of orb with control remapping, it would definitely be a more viable option.

And finally, Greg seems to have changed slightly. Sometimes the player orbs spawn further apart when facing him? Not sure what causes this but it's not consistent. That said, the game's framerate doesn't appear to break on the death screen any more, which is a good improvement.

Third win! (Would definitely feel more comfortable with the ability to move the left and right click inputs off those buttons)

Finally! O_o good times!

Second encounter with Greg:

Figured out how he works and did about 1/4 of his health worth of damage. Didn't manage to recreate my "turning invisible" glitch this time, but suspect it might come from landing multiple hits on invulnerable targets while using the swap ability.

Also, death with non-Greg enemies on screen hasn't caused the framerate to die, but both times I died to Greg, the framerate crashed to less than 1fps after a few seconds on the "you died" screen. Not sure why, but restarting or quitting to main menu fixed it instantly.

This is a really fun demo. Hopefully, when you update it, you add control remapping options. I'm trying to play on a laptop and being forced to use touchpad left and right clicking is atrocious. The option of a pure keyboard control scheme, preferably with the ability to remap the inputs, would be much better.
