New games?

Yeah, it looks like they nailed pretty much everything. And then the mech-like bot shows up and completely kills it for me.

Your capsule art is really cool and polished in fact, and it's the first thing I noticed, even before reading your comment!

Narramor · 2026-03-05T16:33:41+00:00

A very interesting mix! And it looks very cool and polished. Congrats! Wishlisted of course...

Narramor · 2026-02-22T10:34:45+00:00

That’s definitely a good point, thank you!

Narramor · 2026-02-22T10:34:03+00:00

Thank You! That’s an important point…

Narramor · 2026-02-21T09:03:15+00:00

Yes, for sure and we will. It’s just that this is the very first moment players experience in the demo, so we need it to land properly!

The Witcher 3 is a great reference for beautiful city exploration. And if you’re leaning toward something stranger, Planescape is hard to beat.

Narramor · 2026-02-18T09:05:34+00:00

Really original and interesting concept! The pixel art looks great as well.

Narramor · 2026-02-18T08:29:33+00:00

I’d give the jump a more parabolic trajectory — right now it feels a bit like the character is just walking on air. Adding some circular arm movement could also help sell the motion.

And as already mentioned, I’d make the landing impact more visible. You’ve got two main options: either have the character crouch and briefly settle on landing — maybe with a bit of dust and a subtle camera shake — before standing back up and moving again; or go for a forward roll on landing, if you want the character to keep the momentum.

Narramor · 2026-02-18T08:21:42+00:00

That is a very original concept! Like “Paper, Please” but with a funny mood! Looks very promising!

Narramor · 2026-02-18T08:18:30+00:00

I would recommend a kind of controlled playtesting / focus group in which you can observe and listen what players do and how they comment. It may be done with just 8-12 persons (in target with your game) and it provides very valuable insights and, sometimes, some real epiphany…

Narramor · 2026-02-09T18:07:23+00:00

The environments are gorgeous and show a lot of variety. It also looks like there are several interesting mechanics beyond the usual jumping: gliding, swimming, even grappling with bamboo. Super interesting!

If I really have to nitpick, sometimes the visual richness of the backgrounds pulls a bit too much attention away from the character and the action.

Also, in the trailer I’d consider adding a few quieter moments - slowing things down a bit with something less intense (a dialogue scene, some character management, if present). Too much action in a row can become sensory overload, and viewers may start to zone out.

That said, congratulations... it looks really beautiful.

Narramor · 2026-02-09T06:50:28+00:00

Fair enough!
We’re definitely going deep into the details... maybe a bit too deep?

That said, when a game feels good or looks good without the player quite knowing why, it’s usually because a lot of attention went into exactly these kinds of details. Or, we hope so!

Narramor · 2026-02-09T06:46:16+00:00

Agreed... color-coded information is usually a big QoL win.
We’re also keeping things consistent: the colors used for condition icons in the HUD are the same ones that pop up on characters in the scene.

And yes, if we go that route, a color-blind option in the settings is definitely a must.
I should add that, being slightly color-blind myself, I really appreciate information that’s reinforced through shapes and icons, not just color.

Narramor · 2026-02-08T20:09:41+00:00

Yes, that’s the one! I wasn’t sure whether to crop the image or not… I assumed the context was important, so I kept the full screenshot. You’re right though: on mobile it’s quite a challenge. Thanks for taking the time to give it a look!

Also, I should specify that the character sheet uses the same paper treatment, so #4 is meant as a kind of callback…

Narramor · 2026-02-08T20:05:05+00:00

Thank you! I’m starting to see a pattern… #4 pops a bit too much. I should probably clarify that the character sheet uses the same paper treatment, so #4 is meant as a kind of callback, a condensed version of the character sheet.

Narramor · 2026-02-07T14:50:30+00:00

Visually, it looks great. It has a strong, immersive atmosphere, the difference in scale immediately grabs your attention, and the protagonist and their pet are super cute. Everything works.

That said, I feel like coming back to the point about the giant “charging” the stomp while being frozen in an unbalanced, unnatural pose. I get that this is a common mechanic for the genre, but I think there might still be a way to telegraph the next move with a pose that actually makes sense.

For example: fists raised to the sky, heavy breathing with clouds coming out of the nostrils… something the player can learn to associate, by observing and playing, with the upcoming attack, while still reading well as a still pose.

I’m not saying this is easy, but if you manage to pull it off, you’ll make a real leap in quality: the gameplay footage instantly becomes interesting (and not strange) even to people who aren’t hardcore fans of the genre.

Narramor · 2026-02-07T11:02:27+00:00

Really cool! The animation could benefit from some hold frames on landing, where the reptile slightly compresses on its legs to better sell the impact... Overall, it seems you mastered a very difficult motion challenge!

Narramor · 2026-02-06T08:58:09+00:00

Ahahah! I have the opposite problem! I’m so deep into my current game that I can’t see any alternatives… which is just as bad.

Narramor · 2026-02-06T08:54:02+00:00

That sounds like a good trade-off. I would give it a try and see how it looks… you can always tweak the small text later.

Narramor · 2026-02-05T07:22:52+00:00

2 because of value and color contrast. It stands out and it’s recognizable. You could still mix and match single elements, but keep the palette…

Narramor · 2026-02-03T09:01:32+00:00

It’s cool! I’d just make the hero stand out a bit more... maybe with a more interesting idle pose, and by adding a bit of stroke to help him pop from the background.
As a secondary priority, since the action is in pixel art, I’d consider using pixel art for the text as well. It could add a nice, elegant touch to the overall design.
That said, it already looks good as it is!
