Maybe think of adding glowing gradients to expensive items, with more sounds stacked to make it feel more powerful. A sound for the enemy increasing in volume, with music decreasing in volume can give the sense of impending danger. Well, these would be my ways of making the game feel more juicy, as well as adding a smooth camera that follows the player, and screen shake for the claws closing for example.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jobus","author_uid":1145295,"time":"2019-04-30T03:26:36Z","epoch":1556594796,"modified":1556594796,"text":"Great feedback from Kivelocity, don't have much to add to that, but I'll praise the art style - very cozy, yet mysterious.

Idk, maybe more dynamic gameplay or a more exciting goal than just collect money. Overall, the game is good, but it lacks some \"spice\".","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Zanar","author_uid":"1143206","time":"2019-04-30T21:01:24Z","epoch":1556658084,"modified":1556658084,"text":"Very nice game but I didn't really understand where's the theme.

I kept playing until I hit something like 5000$ deposited because I was unsure what constituted victory, or if it was just going to keep playing forever. The dockside menu also popped up with two blank boxes at one point, and I have no idea what happened with those.\n\nMusic was great, really fit the style of game. Always love me a good lovecraftian themed game with cyclopean tentacled horrors! Great work guys!","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld44\/151011-33e6b71ba80a946c92b7d20f65decb87.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/aflatminerstudios.itch.io\/salvage","text":"HTML5 (web)"},{"url":"https:\/\/aflatminerstudios.itch.io\/salvage","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"36852","g_author":"1005076","g_event":"LD44","g_eventkey":"75","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"258240","g_title":"Salvage","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"5","g_site2_node_id":"151011","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0.847788"},"nds":{"n_key":"151011","n_urlkey":"258240","n_parent":"139254","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/44\/salvage","n_slug":"salvage","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"5076","n_created":"1556404145","n_modified":"1556587140","n_version":"458340","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":151011,"parent":139254,"superparent":9,"author":5076,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2019-04-30T01:09:05Z","created":"2019-04-27T22:29:05Z","modified":"2019-04-30T01:19:00Z","version":458340,"slug":"salvage","name":"Salvage","body":"\nYour whole life has been spent salvaging off a small harbor.
