How do I make it look less “lame”

How do I make it look less “lame”

The people on TikTok and even my friends give off this uncomfortable vibe or even straight up make fun of the looks. I’ve never been good at making my games look good, or even caring if other games look good, I’ve always been more into gameplay & mechanics. (probably because I’ve gamed on crappy specs for most of my life)

In my eyes it just looks fine. I know there’s need for improvement, but I have no idea what to change.

Obviously it’s supposed to stay cartoony of course, and maybe that’s why my friend doesn’t enjoy it, he doesn’t seem to appreciate anything unless it’s realistic and his only exception is good friendslop games.

iOS 26 DeGlassed (Via Nugget & Accessibility Method)

Apple should add a mode where basically, all Liquid Glass elements are replaced by Gaussian Blur (iOS 18's version of transparency)

This is a pretty good template for the idea. I really hope Apple does this as well, rather than just a Liquid Glass slider. We sort of already have this on the Lock Screen Clock.

I feel like if Apple just fixed the glitches and added this, so much less people would hound them for iOS 18.

The only thing that is better than this is probably:

  1. An actual way to go back to iOS 18

  2. A proper legacy mode, that returns all UI to iOS 18 style, which Apple actually could do, there's a toggle in XCode (the app that all developers including Apple use to develop apps) that forces an app to use legacy UI instead of Liquid Glass. Apple could implement this system-wide. And we literally could have a "iOS 18 Mode"

Would Like Feedback: 2.5D Platformer Combat Game

Hi all, a few months ago I started making a 2.5D platformer as a spinoff of one of my previous games. I'd like to know what you guys think. Something I've really been working on is the Camera and I think it still needs improvement, but yeah I'd really just like some feedback (some praise helps too because it will do my mental health better if the comments aren't just fix this fix that)

Happy viewing!

(If anyone know what the OW sound effect is from and the usage right on it, telling me would be great, I just found it from a random SMG4 video lol)

Same phone, same iOS versions, 7 days apart

When I say same phone, I mean same exact phone. Not “Why is my iPhone 14 Pro worse than my friends iPhone 14 Pro??”

No these are the same phone down to the very carbon.

Apple this is why people want iOS 18 back. So much inconsistency. I was advocating for iOS 26.5 so much. I was saying this is it, this is the version where Apple locks in and fixed things. NO. A week later this crap happens. It was like this yesterday too.

I hope I’m giving you guys enough to work with. I tried googling the lyrics I sang and the song didn’t come up, so they’re probably wrong, what’s more important is the melody.

thanks in advance to anyone who can do it 🙏🙏

I have a whole video essay on this but basically, Apple literally has all the tools prepared at this very moment, to release iOS 18 IPSWs that DON’T compromise security, and would help the thousands if not millions of iOS 26 users who’d rather be on iOS 18.

Instead, Apple is stubborn and would rather try to force their users to like something, rather than adjusting their software to what their users actually like.

What would be even easier for Apple, and quicker is just releasing a signed, functional (as in they cannot artificially make iOS 18 run worse than 26) iOS 18.7.8 ipsw.
