Never heard of the "slanting" thing, unless you're in "strafe" mode...are you using keyboard rather than mouse? To walk where you want to, hold down the Right mouse button and "point" the direction.
You're playing a solo character, RD. You're going to level up VERY quickly doing that, for the game was designed to be played among 6 characters, with appropriate reward system.
Glad you're having fun! Get to the graveyard now and get some skulls!
