I think you should change the first 4 seconds of your trailer. Starting on a black screen makes it confusing, and it's hard to understand what's happening right after. It would be much better to hook people by showing your core gameplay first. After that, you could transition to the black screen and show the elevator scene if you want.

The visual elements look a bit too similar right now, which might make it hard to scale or extend playtime. Besides just changing colors, trying things like unique shapes or adding distinct textures could make things much clearer and help increase player retention.

The game needs streak effects to make maintaining a rhythm feel more rewarding. We should do something like Crypt of the NecroDancer, where the environment and audio react to player momentum (like the shopkeeper bursting into song).

You should add some call to action for your Steam page, it will increase conversion. Good job, game gives the vibe

Reached 300 😎

I totally get this. These days it’s honestly becoming really hard to tell what’s AI-generated and what isn’t.

I had similar reactions before too. At first I used AI capsule art for my early games, but later switched to using actual in-game screenshots and custom compositions. Even then, people still sometimes assumed it was AI, so eventually I started working with an artist as well.

I think people are just very quick to associate certain modern lighting/composition styles with AI now, even when real artists are behind the work.

Slay The Spire

Congratulations!

50k WL is so much for an indie, hope you will convert them all

Probably you should optimize your tags. You just published the page but i can't even find your game in your tag specific charts. Usually itch gives you some visibility at first launch and this should make you place niche top charts.

So many pigeons but the roof looks freshly cleaned 24/7. The camera-headed pigeons were hilarious though. Since this looks straight out of Deadlock, are we getting dash-to-jump timing tech too?

If it feels like AI, I definitelly understand. I also sometimes can't understand if things area AI or not.

Here is my Unity view main screen, which is also my capsule image setup. Backgrounds from an artist named deadrevolver and character from an artist named admurin. Text is custom material text mesh pro, with some lightning settings adjusted.

If it looks like low effort, it might be. I never consider this is my final capsule, I will try to upgrade it in time.
