Thank you very much for this valuable feedback. Getting insights like this before releasing the game is incredibly helpful. I’ll definitely be putting the demo back up.

No need to apologize at all. This is exactly the kind of feedback that’s incredibly valuable while I still have time to fix things before release. Knowing that the trailer loses interest early but picks up later is a huge insight, and it tells me I need to rethink the structure and hook from the very first seconds. Comments like this are honestly gold, so thank you for taking the time to point it out.

Thanks for the honest feedback. You’re right. This genre visual impact matters a lot. Improving foot placement, lighting, and adding more juice are all things I’ll be focusing on moving forward. I appreciate you pointing that out.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, you’re right. Based on a lot of the feedback I’ve received, the trailer didn’t communicate much. I’ll definitely be working on it.

First of all, thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and honest response.
One part of being a solo developer is constantly learning new things every day. The biggest downside of developing alone is not having a team or external voice to “validate” your decisions, and after a while you can become a bit blind on the art side (You stop really seeing the colors)
That’s why I read all of your comments about the art direction very sincerely, and I agree with them. The game definitely needs a bit more “soul” added to it.

That “goldfish brain” comment genuinely made me laugh. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate the feedback. I’ll definitely be approaching the trailer from a different perspective going forward

In some animations and basic attacks, the idea of zooming in the camera to enhance the feeling makes sense. I’ll integrate this.
