Fun little idea, would be sick to see this fleshed out a bit more. Patrick Bateman gambit-ing a fool is a message for an audience that hasn't been tapped into yet. And I think they're rabidly awaiting it.
Agreed that the movement felt a bit strange, it might be more intuitive if W was always moving toward the top of the screen.
Character model and anims were super cool, Boxman is the ideal male body shape. Debate me.
Overall it was fun! It gets overwhelming but in the best way. Nice stuff!
Yeah I realised that a little later. The idea came from being able to give yourself analogue movement from your mouse cursor as well like in first person stuff, because that can be really useful in bullet-hell type stuff.
Instead it wasn't super userful for the whole bullet hell thing, especially when you have to make quick changes in aiming (which also changes what your WASD does) with enemies approaching fast without much wiggle room for failure.
TLDR: should have just used the gold standard of twinstick shooters and told people to use a controller to aim/move
I love the cards as the projectile. The movement is a bit weird though
