hello, i enjoyed your game (even though i lost quickly... but its because i dont know how to play).. but there are few things you need to improve.. first is the UI... for some reason it is all misplaced and i cant read much
but it is playable...
and about the graphics.. i could recommend some pixel art tutorial to give your game a better look... there is a really good tool called MT paint that is perfect for pixel art and making drawings with a 8-bit palette.. if you want to i find some good pixel art tutorials you can just reply to this comment and i can find some good for you... another tip is about the styles... the fonts doesnt match the pixel arts so you could download some pixel fonts like More Perfect DOS and 8-bit eye to fit the style.. another tip is creating own styling of buttons and text boxes to make the borders dont look round and fit better the theme of your game... the DPI of the walls and background are different than the DPI of the characters... it means, there are less pixels/dots per inches in the walls than in the characters making the look of them dont fit so well... i hope that my tips can help your game to improve... it is a cool arena game in m opinion.. and the only things that are needed to improve are the graphics. also... go check my game Forespend and rate it on the jam, i will be really happy to get some feedback and tips for my game.
