Really cool game very polished and really enjoyable, great work so far! I only found a few thing I would like to change.:
- I think the text animation is to much, all the other UI seemed nice and clean but so much movement make feel too noisy, at least in my opinion.
- I also think the metal music was way too much. In diablo, Hades or PoE most of the music is just ominous and stays in the background. They might tune it up a bit in boss fight but even there doesn't feel as saturated and overwhelming. I think it only bring the wrong kind of stress to the experience.
- Most of my frustration during the gameplay came from getting stuck on stuff, either with the mobs or with obstacles I didn't notice on the first place. the border tiles are not clear enough. The obstacles have almost no contrast, either in color or in volume/shape. I don't remember how games like diablo, Hades or PoE handle mob collision, I do remember getting stuck a lot in diablo 2. But in the new ones is wasn't really an issue or a thing. I think tuning obstacles could improve a lot the gameplay.
- No that it really affects gameplay but I was able to drink a potion after dead. Might want to disable shortcuts on death. Just to make ir feel more premium.
- Also add full gamepad support, I believe is a must with this kinds of games.
Overall nothing mayor, keep it going, that was only my first run but might try it again later. Cheers!
