Thank you for the feedback! Do you think the trail should continue existing after the player dies? I feel like that might get a bit confusing, but I do agree having a trail until you die would be a good improvement, it didnt occur to me lol.
I don't think it's super helpful if it exists after you die, but having one while you're alive would help! It's the same reason a lot of platformer/action characters have scarves or capes, because your eye processes where you are vs. where you were and it becomes more intuitive to predict your own movement
