In response to player feedback regarding the game's color palette, we've added new in-game filters that significantly alter the visual style. Rather than recreating the entire game, we developed an innovative system using shaders, providing players with various options to customize the game's look.
The new visual options include:

Black and White
Low Saturation
Old Film
Film Grain
You can even combine some of these filters, such as Low Saturation and Old Film, for a unique experience.
We've also improved the camera functionality to be much smarter. Now, it records the last platform you stood on for more than half a second and won't start moving until you reach a certain threshold or get to a new platform. This prevents the camera from constantly shifting during small jumps in place.
Additionally, we've made numerous minor changes both visually and in the code, including bug fixes, optimizations, adjustments to the color tones of some sprites, and corrections of previously overlooked floating sprites.
Thank you for playing, and we hope this update enhances your experience.
Cheers,
The Oria Games Team

From feedback we've received since launch, we've been pushing a few updates, and this latest one improves several things.
Two main notable changes are the camera behavior, which has been made softer and less janky in general. And the dash has been slowed down and easier to back out. These took a bit of time due to a fair amount of knock-on bugs we had to fix as well.
Updates:

Camera rework
Dash slowed a bit and improved dash control
Reduced max velocity when falling which improves fall control
Regular monsters will no longer shoot at you from off camera
Several bosses had their projectile count and speed reduced, so this is less of a bullet hell (was never really meant to be) and easier to dodge. Though the shield is still expected to be used.
Slowed stalactites and tinted them so they are a bit noticeable.
Removed camera shake from large projectile abilities. This was originally to give more impact, but adds too much jank as these abilities are used a lot.
Some minor art/level fixes
We're hoping that with this latest update, and all the previous updates we've done in the last month. The controls are more in-line with what players expect and give a less janky experiance.

We've received more feedback in the last few weeks and wanted to address some of the issues that were brought up.

Minor nerf to energy shield (slightly slower recharge rate, and reduced i-frames when it pops)
Minor improvements to the wall cling ability and ever so lightly reduced fall gravity.
Increased invincible frames after getting hit.
Slowed down some of the enemy projectiles to make them easier to dodge.
We removed about 80% of the falling stalactites, though they were meant to be blocked by the energy shield, they seem to mostly cause grief.
We reduced a bit of the clutterness and front sprites in some areas that obscured visibility
Fixed a few other minor code issues.
We value feedback and will keep trying to improve this game as we can. However, some changes will take time, as we need to be conscious to not break the game.
Cheers

Thank you for the feedback
During Steam's Next Fest we received a large amount of feedback from different sources (reddit, youtube, steam forum, emails, etc) and we are really thankful for it.
Because of that feedback we were able to update our game to really feel much better to play. This includes better camera, better jumping mechanics and better movement. We've fixed the crazy moving momentum and overall, Rolly feels much better to control.
In the last few updates, there were other fixes that went in as well. See the list below
Recent Updates

Improved Camera movement to better follow Rolly.
Improved Rolly's jump to be a lot less floaty and janky.
Improved Rolly's movement to have much less momentum and less janky.
Added more feedback to Rolly's large beam ability
Added new sound FX for when the energy bar is recharged and ready.
Fixed our sound manager to properly switch music in world transtions (this was a knockon bug from some recent changes)
Fixed room transitions to not show enemy spawning and/or play sounds before the room is revealed
Fixed and tuned some of the sound FX's pitches
Fixed some rare crashes.
As we get closer to release in October, we will continue to improve, polish and fix bugs, through out our game, to really push towards better quality overall
Thank you all for trying out our demo!
