Agreed, the camera works really well. I love the way the lamp stays on when it's knocked over as well. Getting your head around 3d vectors and cameras and stuff is not simple stuff. You look like your getting there. Half a day is not slow to make this jump ;)
Remember. even if it's not (strictly right) go by the way it works and how it looks to you. My cameras are completely NOT right, so I adjusted everything so you don't know they are not right. Much quicker than trying to work out where I went wrong. Time is a bit more precious with game jams...
Keep up the great work.
