Tip: Perhaps obvious to some but it wasn't to me. I finally found the settings menu (it's one of the options when you pause a dream) and there you can turn off motion control (means you control the imp with the left stick like a cursor, I find acceleration 10 and movement speed 6 a good setting). I also disabled screen shake, motion blur and menu effects and set it to prioritize frame rate instead of resolution. It's a lot better already.
And what got me really into the 'game', a simple (in visuals) 2D puzzle game which I ended up playing for hours. Graphics don't make game play, people do. First creator hearted or followed as it's called nowadays. Dream surfing is the fun part!
