Hold on, are those checkpoints?

Fuck, I think you're right.

Question for JAW: Do you have any plans to release Steam Trading Cards and Badges for the PC version? I would love to have a Oddworld Foil Badge on my profile.

Don't forget Stranger! Tat! We demand tat!

Just because we're not ass-kissing like everyone else it doesn't mean we don't love the shit out of the way it's looking right now (hint: we do).

This, pretty much. People have a tendency to assume people don't know their projects' flaws and do know their strengths, when often the inverse is true. I don't heap praise on New 'n' Tasty because I assume it's a given that, as an OWF member, I like Oddword.*
Realistically though, saying what I like about the game is as, if not more, helpful than constructive criticism, because to improve the game you just need to focus more on something you're doing already. I just wish I'd realised that a few months ago.
*Perhaps a foolish assumption to make.

Speaking of which... What if all those mushrooms are in fact redesigned spooceshrubs?

I'll be honest here, I'm not a fan of the mushrooms. Magical flora has its place in Oddworld, but this is the Free-Fire Zone. It's a wasteland, a literal land of waste; the utterly barren place where diseased carcasses are dumped, bonfires are lit, and nothing exists but death. I have no doubt fungi
would grow in a place so laden with filth, but I wouldn't expect
these fungi, the brainless beneficiaries of industrial slaughter and destruction, to sparkle like fairies.
Also, I know this is a total revamp, but you don't have to pack
every screen with props. Some of the most memorable screens of the originals are the ones with no elements; just an empty platform and the wind in your ears. I'm sure you're eager to show off your design chops, but don't forget the power of contrast. If 90% of NnT is as verdant with detail as we've come to expect, that'll be the norm for new players. If the Free-Fire Zone really was barren, and I'm talking nothing-but-spikes-and-bonfires barren, it'd be all the more memorable for it.
And I'd like it to be a bit darker. Just saying.

Hmm. Too much colors... The red/orange fire + green mushrom + blue sky + white fog/fireflies is way too much.

That screenshot is literally 99% blue.
