I found the input latency made this unplayable.

The prince doesn't stop on a dime, this was a design choice. This recreated version plays the same as it did on OG hardware. If you're having difficulty, focus on holding and releasing the inputs and think of it as applying acceleration, where you want to release before you want the object to stop.

This was also ported to Roku, and is the best game I've played on Roku

(remember when Roku was going to be a Wii competitor, with the fancy motion remote?)

It has a 9 screen (3x3) mode that is pretty cool to see on a big TV.

Finally, a thought is able to form from the depths of my mind - the netflix noise is just straight up the falling noise from prince of persia!

Volume buttons please.

This is a constant gripe for me. If you're going to play audio on your website, you really should provide a volume control.

Can you add action buttons? The directional buttons were easy enough to infer, but not sure what other types of input are possible. (I’m on mobile)

i just tried it on mobile and i am very impressed. the movement controls are very intuitive. they don't hit accurately but they work in an intuitive way. i tapped the four directions and four quadrants of the play screen. and the character responded as i expected. i am with you though. i have no idea how i will use the sword when i get it.

Slash sword is the middle tap. Took me awhile to figure that out but makes sense now that I know since you can't slash backwards.
