Allow room for the wider curve
A tap still reverses turning direction. Because Moss bends around a larger circle, a correction develops over more space than you may expect after playing Pip. Begin testing corrections while there is clear space ahead. A late sequence of frantic taps is unlikely to explain the movement well; one deliberate change lets you see how much room the new curve needs.
Account for the downward pull
Moss’s path includes a downward contribution in addition to circular motion. That means copying a successful Pip tap sequence is not a controlled comparison of speed alone. Watch your height as you approach the opening and notice whether repeated corrections leave you progressively lower. Aim to arrive with a useful direction of travel through the gap, rather than barely reaching its near edge before sinking toward the lower branch.
Evaluate Moss on its own terms
Try a small set of Classic attempts with Moss while keeping the forest and window shape unchanged. Judge whether you can read its wider path and maintain forward progress, not whether the first score beats a long-established Pip record. The camera also uses the companion’s pace, but it continues moving and will not wait through endless loops. Moss has its own course records, so a lower displayed best after switching companions is expected. Use Moss when this combination of slower movement and wider planning feels readable to you.
