The perspective is sort of isometric (ie. looking down at the character diagonally from above) but it controls like a third person shooter. Except the horizontal axis was flipped, so you move your mouse right to go left, and left to go right. I've never seen this before, and found it very offputting. Otherwise, it seemed like a fairly standard wave based shooter, with some mild tower defence elements. Not overly keen, but I suspect some small changes like moving the camera lower and fixing the look would make it much more playable.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Fonics","author_uid":"1071456","time":"2020-10-06T04:41:08Z","epoch":1601959268,"modified":1601959268,"text":"The main issue is the camera controls, they are the opposite of most standard 3rd person games.

It's a jam game and it is obviously apparent that it needs a lot of improvement. Controls are the biggest issue of the game. Why do we have the mouse if shooting direction is done with keyboard etc. I think if you put in the time now after the jam and improve these ideas and actually make a narrative out of the game, it could be quite fun to play.
