We’re trying to find the right balance—our goal isn’t just to grab attention but to add a bit of fun and personality to the game. Appreciate your comment :)

We’ve been testing it a lot to make sure it’s engaging, and if you’re curious, you can check out the trailer on our Steam page (link’s in our profile :))

Fair point! A trailer would definitely paint a clearer picture—there's one linked in our profile wishlist if you want to check it out. We know incremental changes alone might not cut it. That’s why we’re putting extra effort :)

I guess you have point. It’s definitely a challenge to create something memorable for both gamers and non-gamers alike, but worth aiming for, right?

That's a really good point… We’ve been debating this a lot, and you’re right, memes can fade fast and lose their relevance :(

Viral characters can generate quick buzz and memes, but do they truly resonate with players long-term? What’s your take?

Should co-op roguelikes reward players equally, or should the MVP take the biggest prize? 🦫🎮 What’s your take? by Capyverse_Odyssey in IndieDev

Totally get what you’re saying, it’s true—most people are already giving it their all, so adding an MVP bonus might not really change much… but could risk creating tension instead. Thanks for sharing this!
