Camera look is completely broken (if you are wondering)
This post is for those like me that are wondering what is wrong and can find in this post a confirmation.

I was able to test it on steam deck and normal gaming PC, also on different refreshrates.

Expected: camera movement should be smooth and proper on both axis

Detected: camera movement is choppy on X axis and has an insane smoothing / delay (with mouse input) while vertical Y axis is smooth and matches the maximum framerate achievable with given refreshrate.

The horizontal axis look is just as choppy as the character movements (in frames), meaning somehow there is a softlock in the settings of the Godot engine (some Unity engine games had the same issues...) which limits those actions to X frames (it feels like 40-45 frames, not even 60).

What makes everything worse is that the axis are not the same smooth, meaning if you are doing any diagonal movement with the camera (especially slightly vertical but not perfectly vertical), it will feel like a mess

I know I could just bite the bullet and ignore this issue and play this nice little short game...but I wonder how did this not even come up in the discussion forums and how did the developer not notice it, or if noticed, why choose to deliver the game in this state?

p.s. note about the movement of the character: what I mean with choppy is that the movement doesn't match the displayed framerate. The only thing that matches the actual rendered framerate is the vertical camera look axis (even up to 130fps, it was looking like 130fps and nothing less on that axis)

p.p.s I thought to be verified for steamdeck, it had to have steam cloud saves. Anyway note: setting gyroscopic sensor for using the pan on steam deck (with mouse input, so not to have negative acceleration with stick analog input on gyro) for cooking is amazing...I wonder how this didn't get implemented in the official steamdeck input configuration (since it's verified), it's like the perfect way to cook the eggs by moving the steamdeck like a pan (you have to invert both axis though for it to work correctly)
