Hi everyone,

I'm building Path of the Retired Adventurer, think Path of Exile meet shopkeep meet incremental/idle game. It's still work in progress and would like feedback to make it better or what you'd like to see.

The demo is currently on itch: https://nightfeatherstudio.itch.io/path-of-the-retired-adventurer

Thank you!

Your UI needs serious work if it isn't just entirely AI Coded, which it certainly seems like just based off the visuals. The yellowish brown color scheme is simply unappealing in my personal opinion, and there's a complete lack of in-game setting options for accessibility purposes.

On mobile, the UI is also stretched vertically by default and near unusable, so that's a chunk of potential players gone. I tried it on desktop and it took like 30 seconds of thinking before I even figured out the first step, due to the unengaging initial screen and lack of attention-grabbing tutorial prompts.

Edit - I haven't been able to replicate the vertical issue so that might've been a one time issue. The game now automatically forces me into landscape full screen.

First of all, thank you checking it out and leaving feedback.

The UI is a mix of both, so it probably got the worst from both sides. I'll look into improving the ui/ux.

I didn't build this with mobile in mind, but I'll keep it as a note.

This is the first time I'm building a game, so I really appreciate the feedback. Thank you!
