Priority fixes

  1. [contrast_color] Increase the soldier's brightness or add a rim light effect so the protagonist silhouette separates clearly from the background in grayscale at small sizes
  2. [composition] Reduce the vertical height of the foreground zombie cluster or darken it significantly so the title zone has more breathing room and the staircase focal point dominates
  3. [genre_clarity] Introduce a subtle environmental cue such as a visible sci-fi corridor or station architecture detail in the midground to reinforce the Metroidvania station setting at small size
  4. [uniqueness_polish] Increase the saturation or brightness of one signature color accent — such as the glitch effect on the title or a weapon glow — to create a memorable color hook that distinguishes this from other dark sci-fi capsules
