So, my apologies if this has been asked 100 times already, is the only difference between this and Retro is the skin?

Consider this as a remake of the old Prince of Persia you see in Retro. New visuals, improved controls, cutscenes and a gameplay that feels better in general. Worth buying if you like the original.

Can you do a backflip jump with the directional buttons?

Just tap the button opposite the side you're facing while tapping jump.

Thanks!

The controls are great but for some reason I still prefer the original controls for Prince of Persia Retro, before they added that special button on top of the 2 buttons. It just feels right for this precision platforming.

I also find it much easier to understand the map and where to go with the 2D graphics. I get lost more easily with this fancy visual

Yeah, Retro's original controls were fantastic, and I didn't really mind the update version either. I don't know why they pulled it though... especially considering an update came out not too long ago.
