Trojan Horse
- At an angle but not 3D
- Flat, needs dimension/depth
- Suggestion: 2-3 shades of colour per element
- Horse is not centred on board - move back further
- Wheels appear flat and at an angle
- Make shape more oval-like
Marble Trap
- Good use of colour and shading
- Too many marbles in tile, makes it look busy
- Marble size too small
- Hard to recognise as marble
- Extend shine/highlight on top
- Kind of look like blueberries at the moment
- Good spacing between marbles
- Spacing between marbles is too uniform
- If game is end of the world, marbles would appear less straight and orderly
Spike Trap
- Make spikes taller + pointier
- Spikes appear blunt at the moment
- Unsure how much damage the spikes cause
- Add more dimension + depth

- Spikes are a bit crowded and hard to see
- Suggestion: add fewer spikes and make spikes themselves bigger
House

- Add another plant to make the structure more detailed
- The building itself lacks colour
- The perspective effect is not accurate enough
- Building exterior needs more detail
Trap
- Lack of details

House
- Adjust the perspective
- Straighten to 30 degrees

- Suggestion: draw at same angle platform
- Spike placement
- Suggestion: make spikes even bigger

- Would be cool if it got bloody as the enemies walked on top
- Suggestion: Space out the wooden texture a bit more (have less detail)
House
- Very easy to identify
- Rich details and suitable colors
- 3D perspective is fully considered
- Suggestion: remove the black stroke
- Suggestion: enlarge the size
- Suggestion: consider the effect of the surrounding map
Trap
- The size is too large for the map
- I don't know what the trigger looks like
Tower

- The colour doesn't look like a tower
Trojan Horse
- Wheels
- Make wheels 2-3 pixels lower in relation to wooden platform
- Align wheels on opposite sides
- Horse
- Make the horse larger
- Add shadow underneath the horse make it more realistic
Marble Trap
- Add drop shadow underneath marbles
Spike Trap
- Spikes
- Make more angular (adjust perspective according to grid angle)
- Make larger
- Add more spikes
- Wooden platform
- Have more spacing between detail lines to make wooden texture more sparse
House
- Consider surrounding maps and add more land details (foliage, bushes, ivy)
- Increased size for a larger footprint (covers 4 grid tiles)
Trap
- Size can be reduced by 25%
- Add the effect map after triggering
- Create animation effects using Procreate
Tower
- Increase the height of the tower by 10 pixels
