I found two controls that I do not understand:
1. Pass and Move (how it works?do not understand how to press buttons while moving Right Stick; and do not
2. Driven Through Pass (if I try to perform, it does NOT add speed to the through pass; works same as normal Through Pass to me)
too complicated
i prefer flappy bird
