Thanks for the unfiltered opinion. The pixelated style was something I struggled with over development and even now I am not entirely sure how much I enjoy it. I am also aware that it can take away from the gameplay and make things hard to read. I spent a good amount of time trying to make things readable while still maintaining the look. Some things, like the billboard, were never going to be readable with this style though. A large reason for this style was my lack of confidence in making an appealing 3D environment. I believe that the pixelation helps to hide some of the greater imperfections in appearance, though I could be wrong.
In the future, I may go back over the post-effects and pixelation level to improve the look.
Either way, glad you enjoyed some aspects of the game. The atmosphere was what I really wanted to get right.
