Thank you! Glad you liked the graphics! Yeah I totally agree with everything you said. :D
Not trying to make any excuses or anything but I am primarily an artist. I don't have much programming expertise so I decided to keep the mechanics pretty simple for the most part and focus on the art. That's why I didn't really bother with the camera too much, but you're totally right about it not being great to play with.
As for the theme of the jam, I honestly had a difficult time coming up with a game idea that fits the theme but also fit my current programming skill level. It bothered me that the theme of my game was thin while developing it, but I just had to follow through with what I had.
Again, not trying to make any excuses, just sheading some light on what happened.
Thank you so much for you feedback! Good Luck! :)
