Itch.io won't let me upload screenshots due to increased server traffic. I don't believe it to be a bug. But an unintentional FOV problem with the camera leading to undesired behavior. The way to fix is is to have your camera and renderer be aware of the monitor aspect ratio and adjust accordingly.

I'm pretty sure the camera is suppose to behave like this by default.

This is a screenshot of when I use one of my 16:9 monitors , This looks good, and doesn't feel odd.

This is what it looks like with my 21:9 monitor. Note how the characater is closer to the camera and touching the bottom of the screen. Because the FOV is larger now, when turning the camera it now feels twice as fast as the 16:9 screen. Thus leading to the movement feeling awkward.

Another way to fix it is to allow letterboxing to occur in your game so it targets a preferred aspect ratio. It's and easier short term solution.

Thanks a lot. I should note about FOV so in future games I can implement it in.
