Controls
Regarding player movement. We wanted to try something different for a side scroller where instead of a simple WASD input we experimented with allowing the player to move in and out using the mouse side to side movement, which also aids players in observing their surrounding as it rotates the camera. At first it may take a little getting used to but once you get used to it, it should feel quite satisfying.
