I agree completely, and thanks for giving it a shot! The camera definitely needs to be a bit higher up and angled down more to add better depth perception, and camera movement/different angles would also help a lot.
Unfortunately for me I was super busy at work last week, and I wasn't able to truly finish this game. Different camera angles was 100% on my list and I just ran out of time. But that's the nature of the game jam beast. This is the first time I've participated in one, and I really learned so much.
