Sample walkthrough: roasting a bad screenshot

❤❤❤   HP 100/100   🗡 ⚔ 🛡 🧪   QUEST: FIND THE ANCIENT RELIC OF THE FORGOTTEN REALM (0/1)   MAP ▦
Welcome, traveler! This is a very long dialog box covering half the screen with tiny text you can't read at thumbnail size.
🖱️ tiny hero, dead center
🖱️ HUD eats 30% of frame
🖱️ wall of unreadable text
🖱️ flat, nothing happening

Meet "graybox_final_FINAL_v2.png" — a real-ish bad shot: the hero is a 40px blob dead-center, the HUD covers a third of the frame, a dialog box swallows the bottom half, and nothing is happening.

Running it through the roast: it says yes to 4 questions (focal point? barely. unique? eh.) and no to 8. Score: —.

    FAQ

    Why a self-critique instead of an AI image grader?

    Because you know your game and AI doesn't. A checklist forces you to look at your own shot with fresh eyes — the fixes you discover yourself are the ones you actually ship.

    Do I upload my screenshot anywhere?

    No. Nothing leaves your browser. You look at your screenshot, answer the questions, get your score. Your art stays yours.

    What if I think the score is wrong?

    The score is a forcing function, not a grade. If you answered honestly and disagree, the per-answer fixes still tell you exactly what a skeptical player would notice. That's the whole point.
