I think it would be nice if the menu more opens there where you look at, in the vertical position. But still in a range so it can’t open on the ground or in the sky direction. Also it should angle the menu on the position, on a lower position tilt a litte bit to the back on higher a bit to the front, so it move vertically more in a curve.
Or, as a alternative, you could set the vertical position in the settings with a slider. Don’t know if a tilt slider make sense.
I came to this because for me the menu is a little bit too high, I would like to have it a bit lower, but I like to give players options.
Second Idea for the menu: it would be nice when you could only open the Menu on the Position where the menu appears, so wiping down to open the menu didn’t accidentally happen that easy.
