Priority fixes

  1. [genre_clarity] Add subtle visual indicators of the dungeon crawler or turn-based strategy nature, such as grid overlay, item UI elements, or a briefing-show aesthetic to differentiate from pure action games.
  2. [uniqueness_polish] Introduce a distinctive visual motif or icon specific to the death-row-show concept—such as a broadcast eye, viewer score counter, or game show aesthetic element—to create brand identity and communicate the unique premise.
  3. [composition] Increase safe margins on the left side by repositioning the character slightly right or cropping the extended arm to improve edge resilience across thumbnail sizes.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Expand the item combination section in the detailed description: replace '80+ more' with a concrete example like 'Combine fire spells with oil slicks to trigger chain explosions, or stack poison effects across multiple turns for tactical depth.' This clarifies both the depth and scope.
  2. [uniqueness] Add one sentence explaining the mechanic that differentiates this from other turn-based roguelikes—e.g., 'Unlike traditional roguelikes, every turn spent planning makes enemies stronger, forcing aggressive play over cautious grinding,' or articulate the Sokoban spatial puzzle element.
  3. [feature_communication] Clarify the Sokoban connection by explaining how movement and environmental interaction work: 'Navigate tight arenas where positioning is as deadly as combat—block enemies, use terrain traps, and solve spatial puzzles to escape.'
  4. [genre_clarity] Add explicit mention of how the audience-scaling mechanic creates pressure: 'The longer you hesitate, enemies level up—forcing you to balance careful tactics with aggressive momentum, a tension unique to the show format.'
