I think the visuals are amazing.
But the idea of the game is to trade things off for something else, which is great.
You might not see much in the game, but I think if there were more context for our situation, it would be more fun.
Let's talk about the gameplay.
- I played the first round and died at the gate. At first, I thought I had to bleed through the level. Turns out, the enemy was behind the screen, invisible, and got hit.
- The attack effects, when hitting us and hitting enemies, should be more visible so the player understands what's happening.
I think you're doing great. Keep it up!
