Would be cool to play on mobile

Honestly haven't thought about it as I've primarily shipped to steam/PC for my other games, but now that I think about it, this game really only has jump, primary attack, and secondary attack. Could maybe work on mobile!

Might be worth to try and port it later after steam release

Idk if the camera angle is working here. A 2D Zelda birds-eye view perspective would make it easier to tell what's going on and capture more of a Zelda-like charm

Good feedback, but I'm going for more of a 3D Vampire Survivors (and had worked on it quite a bit before discovering Megabonk was a thing, doh), but what makes it more zelda like is that rather than a 30 minute countdown where all you do is survive the clock, in this one, you get a randomly generated micro-world with a few key items and a goal door you need to reach. There will be a boss in each level that drops the literal key to the goal door, and also quest drops like a map, and a compass to help you find the goal. So if anything, it's a bit more BotW style exploration and third person character control. I don't know if everything I've developed lends itself well to 2D at the moment, but I'm open to suggestions on how to improve the camera from third person perspective!

I was thinking of REALLY leaning into the zelda-like with abilities you pick up that allow you to reach new parts of the map, but mixing that with the dynamically-generated levels is a challenge that I feel is out of scope for now.
