Priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness_polish] Add a subtle but distinctive visual hook in the upper right sky area, such as a bird, floating lantern, or signature motif, to differentiate from genre competitors at small size.
  2. [genre_clarity] Strengthen the building silhouette with slightly brighter rim lighting or a subtle glow so the architectural focal point reads clearly even when pixel detail collapses at tiny size.
  3. [composition] Pull the building and trees slightly inward from the right edge to improve crop resilience and add breathing room within the frame.
  4. [title_readability] Add a very thin dark outline or subtle drop shadow to the yellow title letters to ensure legibility is maintained if the capsule appears against lighter Steam UI backgrounds or promotional banners.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Expand the detailed description with one paragraph explaining core mechanics: 'Paint houses pixel-by-pixel, place furniture in cozy rooms, or design entire neighbourhoods with freeform terrain tools. Unlock colors and decorations by exploring.' This gives gameplay clarity without breaking tone.
  2. [uniqueness] Add a single sentence differentiating the game: 'Summerhouse is the only building game that focuses on the interiors and emotional warmth of individual homes, not sprawling cities.' This clarifies what makes it distinct.
  3. [hook_strength] Consider adding the word 'Pixel' or 'Cozy' to the short description to reinforce visual identity: 'A cozy pixel building game about beautiful lived-in houses. No rules or restrictions, just pure creativity.' This gives more immediate visual specificity.
