I can't disagree more. I, and many of the people I have talked with, find this game very enjoyable EXACTLY because of the controls, which is something new and adds some spice. And the control scheme is not awkward, you just have to get used to it - I don't know if you remember, but can you recall the first time you have ever played a 2D platformer? Was it easy for you to get the full grasp over the controls immediately? I could swear you, just like anyone else, did not. It is just natural that we are not good at something that is new, but if you immediately label something as bad you won't ever be able to enjoy it even the tiniest bit. And you are missing here quite a lot of fun :).
