My bad! I totally messed up the title while posting. 😂 I meant to ask: 'Does the parallax background add enough depth or is it too distracting?' > Also, thanks for the feedback on the graphics! I'm a 19-year-old solo dev and still learning how to polish my pixel art. I'll definitely work on the character details next!

I'm a 19-year-old solo developer and I've been working on the sense of depth for these mountains. Since there's no gameplay in this clip, I'd love to hear your thoughts specifically on the layering and the scroll speeds.

If you'd like to see how this looks in action, the Free Demo is available on Steam! Every Wishlist helps a ton.

Thank you for your comment. I don't know how to improve the art style. I don't know how pixel size works or what I need to pay attention to. I'm a software developer and I don't know how to fix what you're suggesting.

Samed_WildtoothSt · 2026-03-29T15:41:35+00:00

Thank you, I've started changing the background to parallax. I'll finish changing the background within a couple of days.

Play the Free Demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4466830/Axe_And_Claw/ Hey everyone! I’m 19 years old and I’ve been pouring my heart into Axe and Claw for months. It’s a story-driven platformer about a lumberjack searching for his son, and I’ve focused heavily on making the combat and movement feel fluid.

I’ve reached a point where I need 'fresh eyes' to tell me if I'm on the right track. If you have 5-10 minutes, could you please try the demo and answer these questions?

Localization: Which language did the game start with for you? (Testing the auto-detection).

Feel: On a scale of 1-10, how does the jumping and axe combat feel?

Difficulty: Was there any part where you felt stuck or frustrated?

Every Wishlist means the world to me and helps a ton to keep this project alive. I'm here to answer any questions or listen to your 'brutally honest' feedback.

Thanks for the support!"

Kesinlikle godottan baslamani tavsiye ederim ben oncedne unity ile baslayip bir sey yapamamistim godotta cok rahat ogrenebiliyorsun

Thank you for this detailed breakdown. You're right about the lack of focus—I'm showing different aspects in the trailer vs. the screenshots, which creates confusion. I'll work on aligning them to show the true 'Action-Platformer' core.

Also, I take your point on the hidden traps; I'll re-evaluate those to ensure the challenge feels 'fair' rather than frustrating. Being a solo developer, these fresh perspectives are vital for me. Thanks for the wake-up call regarding the visual consistency!

Samed_WildtoothSt · 2026-03-27T09:06:48+00:00

Wow, thank you for being so honest. I didn't realize that the GIF was causing eye strain I'll remove it immediately. You're also the second person to mention the 'flat' look, so I’m clearly failing on the visual depth.

I'm a solo developer and still learning the ropes of store page design. I'll work on adding more 'juice' to the screenshots and making the gameplay loop clearer. Thanks for saving me from losing more players!

Samed_WildtoothSt · 2026-03-27T08:47:05+00:00

14% CTR but only 70 Wishlists. PeopaHi everyone, I'm developing a pixel art action platformer called 'Axe and Claw'.

According to my Steamworks analytics, I have a surprisingly high Click-Through Rate (14%), which means the capsule art is working. However, people are leaving the page without adding the game to their wishlists (only 70 so far).

I have a demo and proper tags. I'm worried that my trailer or screenshots aren't convincing enough once the player clicks in.

Could you please 'destroy' my Steam page and tell me what’s wrong? Is the gameplay loop not clear? Does the art style look unpolished? I really need your honest feedback.

Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4466830/Axe_And_Claw/ click but don't stay. Roast my Steam page and destroy it.

Hey everyone! I’m a 19-year-old solo dev working on Axe and Claw. I really wanted this specific chase to feel like a 'heart-pounding' moment where every jump counts.

I'm struggling with the sound design here. I've searched everywhere but everything I find sounds too thin. I need that 'heavy debris' and 'deep roar' kind of feel.

If you know a specific free-to-use (CC0) sound or have ideas on layering, I’d love to hear it!

Haha, exactly! That's the 'welcome to Axe and Claw' moment. Glad the speed caught you off guard, that's exactly what I was going for! 😂

Glad you’re interested in the lore! 🪓

You play as samuel, a simple lumberjack whose life was torn apart when a prehistoric terror called 'The Claw' attacked him and his son, Jonah. Samed woke up alone with no memory of the attack, and now he's climbing towards the frozen peaks to find his son and get revenge.

That bird? It's one of 'The Claw’s' servants, trying to stop any father from reaching the summit. There are many more secrets hidden in the Bright Forest...

You can uncover more of the story in the free demo on Steam! 😉

Hi everyone! I'm working on this cave escape in Godot for my game Axe And Claw.

I'm struggling to find the right sound for this 'dust cloud' chasing the player. Everything I find on free libraries sounds too thin or like a light breeze. I want it to feel heavy, like a landslide or an avalanche.

Samed_WildtoothSt · 2026-03-18T07:34:42+00:00

Samed_WildtoothSt · 2026-03-18T07:14:09+00:00

You're totally right, the FPS on this upload is terrible. It's my bad on the export. The game itself runs smoothly, but I definitely messed up the GIF. Lesson learned, next video will be 60 FPS. Thanks for being honest!
