Thank you so much for trying AURE and sharing your feedback!
I'm actually really happy that you got the sports betting website feeling, because that's very close to what I'm trying to build like a mix of esport betting powered by automatic or player competitions!
The long-term vision is a living arena where players can bet against each other on scheduled gladiator fights, support their favorites through buffs, equipment, sponsorships, and other mechanics, while also having a game that people can enjoy playing without betting.
We're still in the early stages, there's a lot of work ahead, especially with character animations, visuals, and making the combat more engaging.
I'd love to ask you two things, if you don't mind:
Did you watch more than one fight? And did you find the combat itself entertaining, even with the current animations?
Also, when you mentioned the interface feeling cluttered, were you referring to the battle screen with the slots, or the menus leading up to the fights?
We're still figuring out what works and what needs improvement, so feedback like yours really helps us move in the right direction.
Thanks again for taking the time to play!
