It's supposed to be a bit challenging and I wanted to have it be somewhat dynamic and physical. Maybe it's a bit much, maybe it's an odd mix between typical platformers and these more physical ball steering games.
I already reduced the difficulty of the puzzles, before the dices were quite hard to flip and the spheres were rolling around way too much. That also made it fun though. I feel it's hard to balance difficulty. I wanted it to be somewhat tricky to be a fun challenge but still relatively easy instead of some trivial "grab box and drop on button" stuff. It should be a "Ah I managed to beat this slightly challenging / non trivial puzzle! Yay!".
Well. I just tried playing through it again. I'm really trying my best. After the perspective shift tutorial, there's a narrow pathway. I fell from it about 15 times. The character's movement feels unintuitive - they continue running even after I release the key. Every time I die later in the game, I have to return to this walkway again. I'm not trying to diminish your work. I'm just sharing my honest feedback.

Interesting concept but it's hard to concentrate on gameplay with this character movements. Reduce slipping(maybe delay).
What delay?
