Thanks for playing! Appreciate you leaving a comment :) Really helps to know during this learning process what "works" and what "doesn't". I'll keep night skies and atmosphere in the arsenal.
I owe the key binding goodness largely to having used maaacks game template https://maaack.itch.io/godot-game-template I found it while browsing the GWJ jam page. I definitely recommend and will use again. Took a bit of setup but is well documented and certainly saves time overall. Glad I found it early in my godot journey. Cheers!
