Priority fixes

  1. [title_readability] Simplify the title font or increase letter weight to maintain legibility at 120x45 pixel thumbnail size without relying on gradient effects.
  2. [genre_clarity] Add a subtle visual cue (portal glow, level editor icon, or multiplayer indicator) to hint at the puzzle and co-op building mechanics beyond combat.
  3. [composition] Test title placement in a controlled background band (e.g., semi-transparent overlay bar) to ensure it remains readable when compressed without competing with the character.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Replace 'spiced with blood and guts' with a specific gameplay mechanic—for example, 'respawn instantly on deadly hazards' or 'navigate lethal traps' to make the difficulty and death mechanic concrete rather than metaphorical.
  2. [uniqueness] Add a 1-2 sentence section in the detailed description explaining what makes this game's portal or puzzle mechanic distinct—e.g., 'Portal mechanics allow you to solve puzzles in ways no other platformer permits' or reference a specific combination of features that competitors lack.
  3. [tone_match] Remove or rewrite the final line 'Something is not right. I can feel it.' to either tie into the story narrative more clearly or replace it with a call-to-action that matches the casual, upbeat tone of the rest of the copy.
  4. [hook_strength] Open the short description with a verb-forward hook like 'Master precise platforming and solve mind-bending puzzles' instead of leading with 'Portal Mortal is' to immediately engage players on what they'll do rather than what the game is called.
