Robotron’s page is SO SICK! Neon colors, cool banner, trippy background, easily visible gameplay footage…I feel like the one thing I would want as a player is maybe a concise and easy-to-find (maybe just right at the top) explanation of the game’s controls so I would know what to expect by downloading it? And there is a LOT of text - feels a little overwhelming for a new player. Maybe hide some of it in a collapsible field, like a

Details(details here, like this)

tag and then call it something like Pre-October Release Text? Then outside of that tag, you can put only the text that would be MOST relevant to a new player to keep it as brief and digestible as possible. This is mostly just my preference for making jumping into a game seem as least intimidating as it can be.

Honestly, similar feedback for Killing Machine Movement. The vibes of the page feel great - saturated and retro - but I’d love it if the less gameplay relevant text was hidden, and a new player could see just the controls. Another way to reduce text is to put the controls in an image or gif that acts as a fun control diagrams! It can reinforce the style of the rest of the page, and reduce text even more! Again, I like the style of both pages a lot - cool stuff :]

Hey, thank you do much. The RBT controls should be easy enough, will probably go and do that next. WASD - move, arrow keys - shoot XD

Yeah, just got into using collapsing text on the last KMM page edit. Yeah, why not do that all places we can actually?

But whoah, that’s a good idea I didn’t consider; controls and diagrams in GIFs. Was thinking of embedded short format YouTube videos before, but then realised was unable to do that on Itch pages as far as I could find. Tbh, tried a gif too and for some reason, the one on there already doesn’t work. So, gotta figure out what I’m doing wrong on that. But in general, GIF demonstrations is a really good idea.

I haven’t worked with gifs too much either, but when I see them around on other people’s pages, it works really well! So it’s on my list of things to learn how to do too haha - good luck :]
