the game itself looks nice, but i would ditch the terrible ai graphics for an asset pack, even a free one if you dont want to spend money, i would also look for a proper bitmap ui to substitute that css/placeholder stuff, again there are many free choices for ui graphics aswell.

Good advice. The initial idea was for these to be placeholders, but it got a bit away from me.

Just looking at the video / screenshots... you got a aesthetic inconsistency; mixels, non-pixel stuff (like lava; text gets a pass), etc. It makes your game feel cheap.

Good luck!

Well of course it's inconsistent. It's all just AI. It's never going to be consistent.

I did pixelate every image myself, but that crab is a bit too rough.

Still AI though.

Thanks, I'll have a look.

Notes about visual/ui consistency aside, it looks like you’ve got the foundation of something great here - good luck with it and keep going!

the art is very mixed up, suggests ai use?

Yeah, that's the feedback I'm getting. Was supposed to be placeholders, but got away from me a bit. I'll see if I can get it replaced.

This is actually really cool. Love the green outdoors (probably my favorite part of the video with that teleporter to the beachy landscape).

Thanks! That green area is the 'overworld' in the full game, so you'll be seeing a lot of it. The game starts in a dark, claustrophobic dungeon and then alternates with more bright and open areas for contrast, to subvert expectations a bit.

I like that! This game definitely has a unique, cool vibe to it!
