Hey! I'm so glad to hear that you loved the art style, I put a lot of energy into making it look as nice as I could (see here!).
I agree that top down would have made more sense, but the 2.5D view allows for more artistic expression as there are more surfaces that can be drawn to add contrast and readability to the environment. I can see that it has made it harder to pick up items that are blocked though. It was actually next on the todo list to make the selection glow of items show through hedges but I ran out of time.
But thanks for playing! Do you have any other suggestions?
