Priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness_polish] Incorporate a visual cue of the gameshow or destructible arena concept, such as falling debris, spotlight effects, or crowd elements, to communicate the game's unique selling point at a glance.
  2. [contrast_color] Increase the light-to-dark value contrast on the character silhouette edge against the red background to improve separation in grayscale and at tiny sizes.
  3. [composition] Pull the character slightly left to add safe margin from the right edge and reduce crop risk across Steam display formats.
  4. [genre_clarity] Add a secondary visual element such as an explosion, arena structure, or environmental destruction hint to reinforce the physics-driven action subgenre beyond the standard armed character pose.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Add a dedicated section explaining the three body builds, their playstyles, and how they enable different strategies in matches—this is a core differentiator that is currently undercommunicated.
  2. [feature_communication] Insert a clear match structure paragraph: 'Play in X-vs-X teams across dynamic arenas with [objective type]. Destroy or defend [specific mechanic]. Adapt your loadout and tactics each round.' This anchors the gameplay loop.
  3. [feature_communication] Create a bullet-point list of the primary gameplay verbs and tactical layers: destruction, environmental use, weapon/gadget variety, and team coordination—currently scattered across narrative copy and hard to parse.
  4. [uniqueness] Strengthen the 'world's first' claim by briefly contrasting what Dynamism means versus traditional shooters (e.g., 'Unlike static arenas in other shooters, every surface, wall, and structure can be weaponized or destroyed').
