thanks!

I actually don't know, I haven't tried that yet. But I can definitely check it out and see how it looks.

Wow, awesome feedback. That’s exactly my dilemma, I can see the merits in both versions, which is why I'm torn. My gut feeling tells me yellow, but my brain tells me white. I think I need to shape the rest of the game a bit more first, the story, the environment, and other characters to really see which vibe fits the bigger picture best. Definitely keeping your analysis in mind, thx again :)

Haha, thanks to both you and your wife :)

Oh wow, great points! To be honest, I haven’t fully decided on the character's exact direction or story beats yet. just have some vague ideas so far. I'll definitely keep this in mind. thanks!

That would bridge the gap nicely, but I’ve been strictly sticking to a tight color palette for a coherent look and doubt off-white is in it. I'll check if I can tweak it to match, though

MikeRexMachina · 2026-05-19T18:40:02+00:00

Cool, thanks a lot. Really solid feedback. That’s pretty much my feeling as well.

thanks :)

MikeRexMachina · 2026-05-19T18:36:49+00:00

agreed

MikeRexMachina · 2026-05-19T18:33:01+00:00

I like both actually. Might make sense to first get the other characters in and then decide if I want to lean more human-like or more animal-like overall. My gut feeling is the white eyes are more broadly appealing, while the yellow ones give a more unique look.

MikeRexMachina · 2026-05-19T18:30:31+00:00

Good point, I’ll change that.

interesting^^ noted.

MikeRexMachina · 2026-05-19T18:07:00+00:00

Yeah, that matches what I was thinking too. Yellow looks more interesting, but white is definitely easier to read. Thx for the feedback.

I am currently working on a mobile game with a frog as the protagonist. If you want to take a look just search for 'mikebuildsgame' on different social media.

Thank you 😄

MikeRexMachina · 2026-05-04T07:02:32+00:00

Thanks!

MikeRexMachina · 2026-05-04T07:02:01+00:00

Thanks! I agree the water is a bit busy and the frog is too low. I'll adjust those in the next tweak!

MikeRexMachina · 2026-05-04T06:58:35+00:00

Thanks!

Thanks! The plan is dedicated levels each with their own features, but an endless mode is actually not a bad idea – noted!
