USER NEEDS

Pain Points:

  • Struggling to create a succinct description for Steam page due to eclectic game nature
  • Visual clutter causing confusion for some players (especially those with ADHD)
  • Bugs reported: infinite scream glitch when jumping+screaming simultaneously, fixed resolution issue (900x600) instead of scaling to user's monitor

Problems to Solve:

  • Need clear game description that captures eclectic style
  • Improve visual clarity to prevent overwhelming players
  • Fix gameplay bugs affecting user experience
  • Implement proper screen scaling for different resolutions

Potential Solutions:

  • Simplify background elements to reduce visual noise (as suggested by commenters)
  • Implement automatic resolution scaling based on user's monitor
  • Fix jump+scream input conflict bug
  • Use community feedback (e.g., "Pizza Tower meets Cruelty Squad" comparison) as inspiration for description

GROWTH FACTORS

Effective Strategies:

  • Releasing playable demo to generate interest and collect feedback
  • Engaging directly with community feedback on Reddit

Marketing & Acquisition:

  • Leveraging Steam platform for distribution and visibility
  • Sharing game links (Steam store) in relevant discussions
  • Using striking/unique art style as marketing hook

Monetization & Product:

  • Free demo available to lower barrier to entry
  • Potential merchandise opportunities (shirts, skateboards suggested by community)
  • Adding anime cutscenes as value-added feature based on user suggestions

User Engagement:

  • Actively responding to comments and bug reports
  • Incorporating user feedback into development (e.g., visual adjustments)
  • Building hype through unique aesthetic that sparks nostalgia and discussion
