I completely get the idea that you were going for, and its certainly a different theme to a lot of the gjam entrants. However, the game is way too fast and theres really no need for the movement and camera controls to work independently from each other. I found myself just holding click and then using WASD to move.
It eventually became impossible to lose in spite of any reaction times or learned skill, which meant that the experience overall is quite short as you would often die without warning.
