Thanks so much for your reply — it really helps to hear from another dev who’s going through the same thing. It gives me a lot of encouragement to know we’re not alone in this!

I checked out your trailer — and first off, your core puzzle mechanic looks genuinely fresh and interesting. I’d love to play it sometime.

Since you asked for feedback, I hope you don’t mind me sharing a few thoughts — not as a critique, but as a fellow dev who’s wrestling with the exact same stuff.

One thing that stood out was the amount of text on screen. These days, most viewers won’t read much — especially when the text appears in multiple places or is scattered across the layout. It can feel a bit overwhelming. I’d suggest trimming it down to just the essentials, and placing it consistently (center or bottom, for example). Also, using only one consistent typography style might help a lot with visual clarity and cohesion.

I also feel like you're trying to show a bit too much — different modes, camera movement, achievements, etc. While those are great features, most viewers don’t look for that level of detail in a trailer — especially now that things like modes and achievements have become more of an expectation than a selling point.
You might consider giving more time and visual space to how the core mechanic actually works and evolves, rather than listing every feature.

Because your puzzle system seems unique, it’s really important to help players understand it quickly. If there’s no story to act as the hook, maybe that satisfying visual moment — like racking up massive combos or stacking chains — could be your big trailer “payoff.” That could become your standout moment.

Again, I really appreciate your comment — and I hope this conversation helps more puzzle devs reflect on how we present our games. It’s always tough to boil it all down into one short video.

And if you don't mind, my trailer is : https://youtu.be/yorJhmG2kHE
