There are several other Mouselook scripts on the web that are a loot smoother and some even have acceleration.

It is very honorable to get feedback on ones work and it encourage me to further develop this game!\r\n\r\nAt the moment the best way to keep in touch if I develop this further and you're interested in the progress is on either twitter @jackiechristens or @Jacksendary (Jacksendary is my \"main\" user) or youtube user: Jacksendary ( https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Jacksendary ) (gamming channel but also using it for general announcement)\r\n\r\nPLEASE!!!

Full unity3D source code is also downloadable and you may use everything from there!\r\n\r\nThis is my first time in Ludumdare it have been a blast working on this, and hope to get a bit of feedback on this fast and dirty game please enjoy! :)\r\n\r\nChange log:\r\n\r\nv1.3 (Final)\r\nFixed a tiny GUI problem\r\n\r\nv1.2\r\nAdded Cursor lock by requested and 3 new fish and increased time under water to 150 sec.
