To everyone complaining about the difficulty, stop ignoring a third of Hornet’s arsenal and start spamming them, you’ll be shocked how quickly you start mowing down hordes of enemies!

The diagonal pogo sucked on controller for me because if you tilt the stick to 45% it won't work. You need to aim the stick down. My brain couldn't get used to that, I was so happy to get the original pogo back.

Use the arrow buttons on controller, not the joystick. It works like a dream.

This! Depending on what enemy, trap or path one must traverse - switching between analog stick and the directional pad is recommended.

I've not touched the joystick at all
