Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! Zone 2 gets a lot harder than zone 1 due to having a different creator which changes the zones difficulty curve and general design philosophy. I made most of zones 1 & 3, while Dr. Cosmos made zone 2 and made a bunch of fixes and overall QoL improvements to the other zones. Zone 3 honestly starts off a tiny bit easier than zone 2 but then picks up the pace again in 3-2 to 3-4, so if you pass 2-3, good luck! The voice acting and writing was mostly done by Suave Lobster and others by Dr. Cosmos (mostly for the youtube short), they did a great job.
The reason for the camera getting annoying when you try to look up is that it gets pushed out of objects to prevent you from seeing through the ground. This often pushes it right back into you, which makes things hard to see unless you already zoomed all the way in.
Thank you for your feedback!
