Yes, it's the same case for almost the whole team haha.
And unfortunately we won't be able to make those scenes more fluid – Because we are only porting the game to modern devices (as Mobile devices and PCs).
I took that decision in the past to make the game in a 3D environment due to some missing assets/files.
But now that we got our hands in the WHOLE original project, we are remaking the whole game back in 2D – And that's also why it's taking more time than normal to get a new update alive.
Thank you for your interest!
