Improving the look and feel of my game

Introduction
Hello, I’d like to ask for ways to improve the look of my game, mainly the map as well as some other stuff like combat and UI if you’re willing to play the game and try it out.
The main aspects I’d like to improve are:

  • The arena without making it look like a Slap Battles clone
  • The lobby overall, it feels empty
  • The visuals of the combat (I’d provide a video, but my recordings run at 2 FPS and 144p quality so you may have to check it out yourself)
  • The UI since it feels like it’s missing something but I don’t know what

I mainly aim for the appearance of the game to have a balance of organisation and good performance, as well as replayability and hooking the player.

Other Notes
Feel free to give feedback in any form, it doesn’t have to be a detailed essay on every part of the game. It can even be only one aspect in vague detail and I wouldn’t mind, as long as it helps.
Thanks in advance, I look forward to what you come up with!

Just accept its status as a Slap Battles clone and go full cashgrab.
The UI is too monochrome and the text is a bit of an eyesore. Your UI design indicates a young target audience so perhaps more vibrant colours would be more appealing.

Wonder how I didn’t even think of different UI colours, that might be my main focus now, thanks.

It’s a pretty well made game, I liked:

  • The feel. Hitting people feels very good with the sounds & effects, so well done
  • The UI and animations are all fluid.
  • The health concept is cool and distinguishes it from Slap Battles

I’m not really a fan of:

  • The lobby. It’s all monotone and a bit of an eyesore. Also not a fan of that Baseplate grid texture.
  • The map. The map feels too expansive for no good reason. Sure, you can explore to get a few badges, but after that, there’s no point of exploring.
  • The shop GUI. Half of it is empty, all that’s there is some emotes and a gamepass.
  • These unobtainable pipes. They’re cool to look at, but it kinda just mocks normal players. They all sound so cool, but you’ll never get them.

Finally, someone acknowledged that! Thanks.

I agree, that’s like the main point on my to do list; to fill it up.

I agree, I actually did have the idea of making those pipes into chat commands but I don’t know why I didn’t get around to it.

The rest of the points are noted down, thanks for the feedback!
