Good question. The game is 8-axis, the directions of movement and shooting are locked to 8 different positions (the 4 directions + the 4 diagonals). I made it this way to be more like those 80s arcade games I used to play (Robotron and Smash TV being my inspirations). This design feels more at home with buttons in my opinion but I could definitely try to do a few tests to see if it would work well with the mouse!
Thanks for the feedback ! :) I'm glad you enjoyed
