I checked two projects.
One Bare Bones the other is Kenny Tiny Dungeon.
In Bare Bones shooting using the mouse works correctly but using the keyboard the projectile does not appear and the shot does not deal damage.
In Kenny Tiny Dungeon it is similar, using the keyboard the character performs animations but there is no projectile but using the mouse the projectile always moves south. The only way to shoot in a different direction is to change Player Movement to Tank controls but this spoils the gameplay.
Before the last update using the keyboard to shoot the character shot and performed the attack animation in the last direction in which he moved. There is one more difference, before the last update the projectile also appeared when not using voxels but an effect (e.g. fireball), currently at least one voxel must be used because the effect itself will not work without voxels.
If necessary I can send the projects.
