Okay. I played the game again and enjoyed it. I think I did some speedrunning strategies on accident and skipped some of the levels.
Speaking of levels, that payment per life is unforgiving and you can't spawn from checkpoints. A bit of a quality of life inconvenience.
Camera's still awkward to use but maybe it's on me, and it's better. Speaking "it's on me" can there be an option to remap keys? I find pressing CTRL awkward, and pressing 1 and 3 to switch items isn't my style.
