Invert mouse?
Is there a way to invert the mouse Y axis?

The lack of mouse invert on so many of these newer games is ridiculous and makes them unplayable for many old school gamers who wish to play them.

No Y-axis mouse invert option is disgraceful.

Truth truth ... another game made in Unity where its creator is too lazy and dumb to implement invert mouse option.

This deserves negative recommendation even if this short game is interesting.

What is mouse invert? I've seen it in some games and do not know what it does.

Also, changing the way 'old school' gamers play isn't all that bad. I challenge myself with playing games that really don't appeal to me or games that don't appeal to the way I like playing. That was my catalyst for coming back to Steam.

It is the traditional default for looking in games until about 1995 when it bizarrely swapped around. Just like your own body where your muscles pull your head back to look up and pull your head forward to look down, with Invert Y you pull the mouse towards you or the stick down and towards you to look up, and you push the mouse away from you or the stick up and away from you to look down. It is much more natural for a lot of people. Just try pushing your head forwards while simultaneously trying to look up, then do the same thing letting your head move forward while trying to look down.

Many modern gamers stick with the defaults and that's how they learn to play, even if it is less natural, that's just the pathways they form in their brain and in a roundabout way it ends up 'feeling' more natural to them.

Once whatever you learn is ingrained, it is pretty challenging to keep consciously overruling your innate natural instinct. So pretty much it's totally unacceptable for any game with camera movement to not allow both options.

Ah, I see. I'm in that same position, but inverted (/pun). I grew up on point and click games and now I struggle with platform gaming. I want to develop those neural pathways. I'm not good at those games yet, but I am learning to be.

Thanks!

Keep at it, you'll get there. I started using the XBone Pro Elite controller a few years ago. At first I was finding it really challenging because I was used to face buttons but not paddles. It was quite embarrassing seeing how badly I was playing compared to what I knew I could do. After persevering I became a demon at it and ended up playing faster than ever. Now I can keep my thumbs on the sticks at all times and rest my fingers on all four paddles, plays like a dream. :btlthumbup:

I'll look it up, Ruby Bliels. Thank you!
