Yeah, agreed, the design of the main character needed reiterated on. It was taken from one of my old jam games and then made smoother (since I’m a much better pixel artist than i was then). In that game, he was catching arrows, so I can see how I should have just lost the top bit or changed it up.
As for the bottom guys, I feel like I should have made the font say +1 instead of 1 or 3 or 5 and had fewer of them so you can tell what they are doing when they collect. Right now they’re quite a bit noisy. Course a help page would have gone a long way I think :P
