Thanks for playing!
This definitely edged into shitpost territory at some point, and to be honest I'm probably going to take SE7ENGOKU that direction because I had a lot of fun with it.
I had a lot of trouble with depth perception as well. I think a major issue is that the camera is too far behind the player. I left it the way it is because I was worried that making tweaks would make it worse, but I'll definitely be trying to improve things for the full game.
