So, a few days back I went into chat to discuss the "Fire Escape" game that's available to play during August (which is right now, as I'm typing this). I've noticed that many other players share the same opinion that the minigame is mind boggling, moves too fast, and makes people dizzy.
I'm a daily google dino game player, the one you get when there's no internet. I've even held a daily record once, and that just makes me question why I suck so bad at the one on lioden. It's the same concept, so what makes it stand out so badly?

Most common issues I've seen people mention.
1. Too much detail. The charred branches underneath and above have the same color as the highlighted obstacles, making it confusing.
2. Everything blends in too well.
3. It moves fast, but not gradually, it just suddenly boosts.

I'm not going to start comparing fire escape to the dino game, but there's a clear distinction in the google dinosaur. It's black, while the background is white. The values are therefore very different. But with fire escape, this is not the case. There might be a highlighted rim outside the obstacles, but this for a fact doesn't help at all given that it's even more muted than the bright charred branches and doesn't aid.

What I propose:
- BRIGHTER highlights around the obstacles.
- Background adjustments. I know Lioden likes it's artstyle and rendering, but it's just too much to comprehend when your score gets over 5k. Those branches are either getting removed or muted down.
- A highlighted rim around your lion. And the hitbox is super confusing too, the lion isn't two-legged like us and stretches its entire body to run.
- As much as I hate to say this, It needs to be simplified.
- Your score amount gets moved to the top right, It's hard to look in the left corner since you're supposed to be focusing on the right side.

I have ADHD, and the background and foreground being bright can distract me from the game itself/make it hard for me to differentiate things. This also applies to me being more focused on the score in the left more than the right where the obstacles are, and the beetles are also bright pink and distracting.
