I'm liking it so far! If I could suggest a couple of small improvements:
It's sometimes difficult to wall jump because if you press away from the wall, you immediately move off of it, and can't jump. I'd suggest implementing a feature where holding away from the wall doesn't immediately detach the player, but instead waits like 10 frames or so. Most popular platformers with wall jumping do this, and it makes wall jumping feel a lot more responsive.
Being able to move with the arrow keys would be nice too, should be an easy thing to implement.
Other than that I really enjoy it! Sliding feels super great and the levels are challenging! Going to keep an eye out for further development updates (Came here from r/godot)
- That's a good idea. Since you can jump before changing direction, I didn't think it was necessary to implement, but I might as well let the player have about .1 seconds if they prefer changing direction before jumping.
- It's already to possible to remap all actions (except for returning to the overworld and viewing the credits, since they're temporary) through the pause menu, which can be accessed with Escape. There are no instructions about this in the game yet; it's currently only mentioned in the game's description here on itch.io (and in the various Reddit threads).
OK I figured ou how to achieve the wall dash every time (press dash and jump at the same time without A or D pressed), but I think it would be better if you could wall dash when you respect these conditions :
touching a wall
press DASH (it won't do anything as we are not on the ground)
as long as you don't touch the ground, if you press JUMP (with DASH still pressed), the ball does a wall dash
(now you have to press DASH and JUMP almost at the same time, it got me a lot of trial to understand it)

Really like it, the overall feeling is great !
I had trouble achieving the "wall dash", but congratz anyway :) The level design seems good too
Thanks! Could you tell me what keys you were holding and pressing when trying to perform the wall dash?

Ah, I see. I fixed that a couple of days ago, so now the player has the following options:
I've uploaded a version where is was fixed; the video hasn't been updated since it looks pretty much the same.
Thanks for the feedback!
