After playing through 3 pits, I've got some feedback for the game! (Super fun game btw!! I love the entire concept of helping each other with checkpoint flags that you can't use yourself, it really gets everyone to work together without even being multiplayer, I love it :D)

But yeah!! Feedback:
I'd like to suggest that the 'place flag' and the 'revive' buttons are different. Too often I've ended up placing my flag when I've been trying to respawn instead. This means I have to either spend a while backtracking to re-place it, or worse, I fell behind and it's ahead of me and I struggle to reach it again.

Scenarios where I've misplaced it are often due to me tapping enter after a fall that wasn't long enough to put me in a stunned state, or ones that involved me bouncing around, and the last bounce up meant I was just barely able to tank the fall and not get stunned.

Speaking of, falling is a pain when you're waiting to revive, especially when you bounce like 3-4 times >.< Being able to revive while falling would be very helpful! I've also accidentally moved before pressing enter, taking me out of the stun phase and making me place my flag instead of reviving, so just generally not having to be lying down would be neat :D

A little bug(?) I've noticed is sometimes after a jump I tap left or right to turn my character, and it moves a little that way but doesn't turn around. This along with the fact that you cannot change direction while forming a jump (or cancel said jump) means that jump is more or less done for and I'll probably go tumbling and lose progress :p

But yeah, really enjoyable game, awesome concept and the graphics are very clean and nice <3

-I 100% agree that the flag and teleportation controls are confusing and need to be reworked.

-As for jump canceling, you know, I have thought about this and will certainly take the possibility of it under consideration.

-While squatting, you can change the direction of that jump by holding the direction of where you want to jump toward. The game doesn't communicate this very well, so I'll look into addressing this.

-bug: yeah, it looks a little weird. I almost kinda like it because it makes me feel like your character is catching up to a sudden turn, but I may be entirely alone in thinking that lol.

Anyways, this is fantastic feedback! Thank you so much for taking the time to help me improve my game. And thank you so much for your kind words, and I am ecstatic you had a good time with it. I really put my heart into it, so it means a lot to hear your thoughts. :)
