I've loaded it up again, the monitor swap feature is appreciated!

Overscrutinizing it in paint.net, the sprite scaling is pretty good.

Text has blurry edges which drags everything down, but aside from that I'm only seeing some minor scaling mismatches and misalignments that probably aren't obvious unless you're zoomed way in on a screenshot like I am. The settings menu sliders and checkboxes are not pixels at all so I'm assuming that's just unfinished.

In this screenshot I can see that the menu tray buttons are at 2.75 scale or so, which gives inconsistent column widths (3, 3, 2, 3) and clashes with the 2x scale beneath them.

This flower isn't aligned to the pixel grid of the world. This is fine for moving things like the birds and leaves but for static elements you can notice it sometimes.


This Vial of honey on the right has the same issue as the tab buttons, it's at a non integer scale so with nearest neighbor it gets crunched a bit.

Thanks again, I really appreciate you taking the time to look this closely and point all of this out.

A lot of what you mentioned is fair. Some of the odd placement and alignment issues are probably tied to how the flower spawn system currently works, and some of the rougher visual inconsistencies are also me still being pretty inexperienced with pixel art. This is basically my first real project, and I’m building it solo, so I’m still learning as I go.

You’re also right about the UI side. Outside of the bee and upgrade sections, I haven’t really done a proper design pass on most of the UI yet, so a lot of it is there more for function than presentation right now.

Your comments are genuinely very helpful, and I’ll try to keep all of this in mind as I keep improving it. Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback :)
