The original, with constant floor friction and zero air friction.
=DEMO 1.1=
http://hamsterrepublic.com/tmp/bellchaos-demo1.1.zip
Exactly the same, but with extra friction (ground and air) when no arrow keys are being pressed.
Is the different friction scheme in demo 1.1 a step in the right direction? or a step in the wrong direction?
Yes, demo 1.1 is an improvement.

Controls much better, definitely.

Maaaaassive improvement. Now I can see that this is a pretty awesome game, at least conceptually, and it has better controls than any other OHR sidescroller I've played. It's funny how small changes in physics can totally alter how these games feel.

Yep, the change is pretty small. Here is the whole diff :)
