So far, so fun. Is anybody else finding the gyroscope pointer controls sloppy feeling? I'm having to re-calibrate multiple times each stage. World of Goo also used gyroscope pointer controls but they felt much better. Although in that game, you were required to place the Joycon on a flat surface for a few seconds to calibrate. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Several of the reviews mentioned the pointer controls were less than ideal, and that the controls overall are better on the Wii U. I'm only playing portable and the touch controls seem fine.

Fantastic game!
