Is it possible to have the camera view on a 2d game like the way ‘Don’t Starve’ has it. I prefer to do it in I guess birds eye view. Or we only allowed to do it via side scroll?

Other than that, You could always just change the orientation of your art.
Yes - draw to the orientation and setup movement controls accordingly. Ortho camera helps with true 2D as well
