Code:
Hi Eric, was this after you customized controls, or was there another issue?
Didn't customize the controls...
When you get respawned, you are not respawned at the start position but in the middle of a cliff near the fountain. I'm not so sure it's the controls themselves, rather than the physics that wouldn't react to this spawn point as well as they it should: when you manage to leave the cliff (which in some instances was easy, and in others, was rather long) and get back in the valley floor, the controls resume normal operation after a few seconds.
