Thank you for playing and the kind words. Yes! We had planned for the character's appearance to change with each effect, but there was no time left for that in the jam. We do plan on adding that in the future along with map markers after discovery of an npc or custom markers.
That's an interesting idea for the camera, we were thinking of just moving the camera back, but that might work better. We'll see how we go about it. Thinking about it just adding in a zoom might help with that too.
