Cute little game. One piece of advice is to keep the pixel sizes consistent in the art. That would make the characters, inventory items etc look more appealing.

Thank you very much for the feedback! The point about pixel size consistency is something I heard during my last jam as well, but I still don’t fully understand what I am doing wrong. This time I used the same resolution while creating the sprites, so I am not sure what exactly feels inconsistent. If you have some time, could you elaborate a bit more? Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback!
It seems some of the sprites have been scaled up or down and skewed, for example the hats and bread etc. This makes the pixel sizes appear different. The art itself can be different resolutions like 32x32 for a character, 8x8 for a gem etc. But when you scale it in engine, it will make pixel sizes different. Keep the scale at 1. Also I would suggest setting your base viewport to something like 640x360 so the visuals scale consistently across multiple display resolutions. This should also help. Let me know if this makes sense
Wow🔥, thank you so much for the feedback! Yes, I actually did scale up almost all of the NPCs and item's in the game, so that explains the issue, I didn’t knew how much inconsistent pixel sizes could actually affect the player’s experience and how easy players can notice it cuz i never did somehow😖. Your explanation really helped me understand it better now, and the guidance about setting the base viewport is super valuable too. I’ll make sure to follow up on this in my upcoming games. Thanks again for such an amazing feedback!☺️
