really simple game. has potential, but pretty bare atm... some polish would help with this, like adding particle effects and slight camera panning or shakes.

for the art, its fine... but simple ways to improve it is by having a uniform pixel size, so no mixels. also using a limited color palette helps a lot with the games visuals... try using 4 to 6 colors only next time as this would help a lot in improving your art.

feel free to check out my games as all of my solo projects use a limited color palette: https://macrowdev.itch.io

I played some of your games and they are truly amazing. I also love the way your itch.io page looks, and all your game pages. Can you give me some tips on how I can make games like yours, and also please tell me how you got your itch page to look like that.

for my games i like to use a small screen resolution size of 160x144 (gameboy resolution) this ensures i have crispy looking pixel art.

Only using a limited color palette keeps your game looking uniform, and helps add vibes to ur game.

GAME JUICE is so important, the way ur camera moves, particle effects, shaders, tweening and animations... basically everything that has to do with game feel and visuals... getting this right is what makes or breakes ur game.

For my itch pages... i use CSS to decorate my pages, u can request access through Itch support

Just to summarize:

Small resolution
Limited color palette
Game juice

If u can get those 3 right, u shud start seeing some improvements to ur games

My game looked really weird in the browser, the whole left side was cut off and the UI was all shifted. I had to scale it to a weird size in Unity just to make it fit properly (I think 640 by 500). Also, I was using World Space UI because in the editor, the UI kept moving around when I changed the Game view size. That fixed it in the editor, but it was still messed up in the browser.
