I thought it would be unnecessary to bother pointing this out, but I've been informed otherwise.
The description of the Top-down shooter kit says: "A simple template for a top-down shooter game such as Contra", and Contra isn't a top-down shooter, it's a sidescrolling shooter.
Also whenever I try and download a resource off of Forge I receive the message: "Could not download this Resource- The connection was aborted, or the resource was not fully uploaded to our server". This may be because I'm not using the most current preview build of b368, I can update in a while and check if this problem still occurs.
-Problem resolved after updating.
