Priority fixes

  1. [composition] Remove the 'NEW DLC AVAILABLE NOW!!!' banner from the header capsule entirely and use a separate Steam DLC badge or capsule update instead, restoring a single clean focal hierarchy.
  2. [contrast_color] Add a stronger dark outline or drop shadow behind the main characters to improve silhouette separation from the warm background in grayscale and at tiny size.
  3. [title_readability] Increase the stroke weight and contrast of the title lettering slightly so it survives the 120x45 thumbnail crop without depending on the full stacked layout.
  4. [uniqueness_polish] Tighten the character grouping into a single punchy hero moment — one or two characters mid-chaos — to compete with polished casual genre benchmarks at small capsule size.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [genre_clarity] Add explicit clarification about the 'Racing' tag—is there a competitive element, time-based competition, or is this tag a miscategorization? If the tag should remain, explain the racing/speedrun element upfront.
  2. [feature_communication] Clarify the endgame structure: 'Reach the end of the level' or 'Master increasingly harder checkpoints' to give players a clearer sense of progression and goals beyond frustration comedy.
  3. [uniqueness] Add a sentence differentiating the physics or level design: 'Handcrafted obstacles that require perfect paddle timing and coordination' or similar specificity to distinguish from generic frustration platformers.
