If not it would be a shame because apart from the control issue the game is very good.

As far as I know, the devs haven't addressed this issue here. Frustration expressed by some of us is definitely not universal. I'd like to know how widespread this frustration is, but have no idea and the devs have been quiet lately. Perhaps they will chime in though because they've made a beautiful and imaginative game and Ai know they'd like players to experience all of it.

Just finished the game. I agree with a lot of people. The game IS beautiful and the mechanics of it are really cool. Then level design is varied and well thought out. The colors of the game are amazing and really pop on the iPhone.

That said, the controls are awful. There's no way to get through this game without getting frustrated at some point. Especially with enemies. So many times I had no idea why moves worked sometimes and not others.

It was a fun game and honestly the first game I've beaten on the iPhone beginning to end without getting bored. But some levels I had to repeat over and over due to frustrating controls. Even worse the wii tutorials make the controls look so simple!

I wouldn't hesitate buying it again but if you're going into the experience thinking the controls won't be an issue for you, be warned.

count me in the group that finds the controls too unresponsive to be enjoyable.

I won't pick this up until the controls are ironed out, personally. Seen too many people with issues on that. That being said, I'd like to play this because it seems so fresh and alive, but for me, control is more important than eye candy, so, I'll wait and see what the devs do here.

Same here, waiting and hoping. Game looks incredible. Can't wait!

I don't find the controls to make the game not enjoyable, but I def agree that they need some fine tuning. Only played about an hour thus far.

On my way to Wither Falls I kept withering and falling way too much and having to make that climb one too many times. Game on hold until an update (hopefully). Excellent game and great graphics and experience EXCEPT for the gust. Just needs more oomph and or forgiveness.
