Yes it's actually 2.5D! I like this visual style, so I tried, even if it's not perfect.
You've tried the first version, which was really difficult. I didn't realize how difficult it was at first because I'd played it almost a hundred times, so for me it was almost easy, but then I saw with others that it really wasn't... So I adjusted a few elements and it should be better for most people now.
Thank you for your feedback!
