Priority fixes

  1. [composition] Ensure secondary figures and machinery do not visually compete with protagonist; consider subtle transparency or desaturation of background elements to strengthen focal hierarchy.
  2. [genre_clarity] Verify that the builder/crafting mechanic remains visually distinct at TINY size; consider emphasizing the tool or workbench element more prominently if needed.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [hook_strength] Remove or relocate the 'Want a bigger discount?' line to after the feature list to preserve narrative flow and maintain the cozy tone established in the opening.
  2. [feature_communication] Add a 1-2 sentence clarification in the combat section explaining when and why players shift between melee and ranged mechanics, and how difficulty scaling affects moment-to-moment gameplay.
  3. [uniqueness] Emphasize what sets Sandrock's building/production loop apart from Portia or Stardew Valley—e.g., specific machine types, economic mechanics, or NPC interactions tied to production rather than just farming equivalence.
  4. [feature_communication] In the multiplayer section, briefly explain how romantic relationships, shared progression, and character evolution work with 4 players to differentiate co-op from single-player loops.
