I could see this as being a promising idea. It would have been more playable to have a mini-map constantly in an upper corner. I did a raw reaction to all the entries in Based Game Jam 2024. This entry is at the beginning of this video here.
Thank you for your response, the game itself is being remade from the ground up as this was a rush job. The new systems in place should be far better than previously displayed in this video. Would be interesting to really compare the before and after.
