Thank you so much for the kind words! :D
You should be able to scroll the map as you move your cursor using the left stick or D-pad. Does it not work on your side? :o
I do have a list of stuff I want to add to the game after the jam, including aiming up. A lot of tweaks and general improvements, also. A month is still pretty short, haha!
For a larger scale metroidvania, it's something I'm trying to move toward, bit by bit. Not a Steam commercial release, but a longer game that feels more fleshed out, at least. My current plan for The Fireseeker was to release a 1.0 of a similar scope but then extend it with regular updates. But I will probably take a temporary break from metroidvanias to make another Zelda-like first :)
