This game is pretty cool but the jump controls on the rift need some adjusting.

This game is pretty cool but the jump controls on the rift need some adjusting. It seems like if I do a movement that should make me go forward I usually shoot towards the right. If I try to let go early to avoid flicking my wrists it's like I hit the top of my head on something and don't jump.

I'm messing around with it in the demo but the area doesn't really allow for freely jumping around. I want to pick this game up but with the way the jump controls are I can't bring myself to.

Some suggestions,

Add a large open space to the demo for people to practice jumping in. The main hold up for me buying this is jumping. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Add some kind of option that allows you to always jump forward in the direction you're facing.

Add full support for thumbstick movement. Move with the left stick, pan with the right stick.

Thanks.

*I'll post that list in the suggestions thread.

Want to add, that I do like the swinging arms to go forward though I'd like to be able to do this but pan with the right joystick.

Sadly that's just kind of how the game is from my own experience [on Vive] There seems to be a bit of a sweet spot for when ya let go to fling yourself around,

Yeah the jumping is pretty finicky. Seems like the game likes to jump towards the left unless I'm really careful. Though even then it can be hit and miss.

Luckily the more I play the better I get at jumping though it remains problematic.

It's all a matter of practice tbh, the timing and motion you need is precise to give the game a challenge it wouldn't really be fun if it was cake ya know? I would highly recommend picking this game up because it is my most played game and it's likely to stay that way for some time unless something just amazing comes out, you can play this game time after time again and it doesn't get old where you'd put it down for good, I would recommend just picking this game up then train your jumps, the community isn't really toxic and there are many great players who will help you perfect your jumps, and teach you tricks you can use in order to get really massive distances at will, I play this game often so if you see me ask me what are these tricks... see you there!

(edit: just found out that rift movement is limited to 10 meters a second I believe, so how jumping works is limited some what to that, however the creator has added around a 25% boost in rift jumps to compensate, So on rift it's about getting the timing and speed more precisely to get good jumps where as the vive you can swing your arms faster to result in a better jump, but there are plenty of tricks and tips that make this game more than possible on the rift as well as vive despite it being a little harder to do big jumps on rift, so no worries:) )
