Poi(s)son is a wonderfully inventive game! The core mechanic is genuinely clever, and the tension between speed and precision is palpable.

To take it to the next level, a few tweaks focusing on clarity will make a significant difference.

The current font is hindering the typing section more than it should, so swapping it out for something more legible is a quick win. While maintaining the aesthetic, ensure the W, H, N and O, Q, D are very distinct. 

Likewise, the fish cleaning section needs a bit more guidance to get players oriented; a few visual cues or a quick tutorial would work wonders. For example, you could add a dotted line indicating the precise cutting point, accompanied by a scissor icon that animates upon a correct click. 

And, of course, immediate feedback will help players learn and master the mechanic. Think of adding a playthrough video on the itch page as a helpful reference point for players. 

You still got few hours left, I highly recommend you to have a little refinement!

Hey, thank you very much for the feedback! I actually thought about adding some of the points you suggested.


If I have the time I'll try and add those. Thank you again! :)
