Priority fixes

  1. [composition] Reduce background crowd clutter by desaturating or simplifying the midground skull details to keep focus on the central mutant and improve tiny-size readability.
  2. [genre_clarity] Add subtle UI overlay elements (like a health bar, upgrade icon, or wave counter) to signal roguelike progression mechanics and roguelike/Survivors identity.
  3. [uniqueness_polish] Strengthen the creature's silhouette with additional lighting or edge definition to make the mutant read as a recognizable character rather than a generic horror asset.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [feature_communication] Add 1-2 concrete examples of mutations or family traits with specific gameplay effects (e.g., 'Inbred bloodline grants +20% speed but triggers tremors every 30 seconds') to make the progression system tangible.
  2. [hook_strength] Consider adding a secondary hook in the short description about the family mechanic consequence—the permanent loss stakes add emotional weight that could pull in strategic players.
  3. [feature_communication] Clarify the mission structure: are runs time-limited, progression-based, or endless? How long does an average run take and how do missions connect across the node map?
