Reminds me of the fake 3D thing that DOOM pioneered back in the day. :) Rotating sprites so they always face the viewer to give the impression of 3D, when visuals were really all flat. A bit more comprehensive, but still, pretty cool visual hacks with stuff like this. Adding space between layers too... simple but so efficient way of getting that effect. 3DS style. Wonder if this would be easy to port to that...
