I would likely have to do some quick mockups as I'm a very visual person versus being able to articulate it in text. I know one thing is the tutorial being images versus real time on your own profile. Aside from having an extension that enlarges images, blocking off the tutorial, being unable to interact directly with the tutorial to develop the habit of how things work is frustrating.

The announcements seem to be arranged to show up above the portion they're announcing, which is confusing versus having them at the top. Though that also causes an issue when you're scrolled way down and it's at the top.

Clicking on my name takes me to my public page, and it's strange to see the titles in regular text versus bolded and enlarged above the rest of the features. It comes off as just being a list of blocks with no hierarchy breaking up the monotony.

Small text keeps with the look of the pixels, but makes it difficult to read, especially when you take into account the WCAG. White on light blues, white on vibrant orange is very straining on the eyes (I use light mode as dark mode drives me crazy and hurts my eyes. Not just here, mind you, it's all forms across the net.)

Since color is the only thing dictating any heirarchy and importance anywhere you go, it's extremely easy to miss things like the blue bar just under your 3 page options. I was expecting a more intuitive interface where interacting with the rest of the page would provide you with what you need.

On our Pixpets, we are informed of everything with them, even that they're on hoard. But you have to look at a completely different box to view how much time is left on them. It'd be better to display that time next to the 'On Hoard'.

There's a lot of white space being used, and often I get confused with where the items are to place on the pet when prepping for a hoard. Many boxes can easily be condensed down into radio buttons beneath the pet with '?' to inform you of what they do.

The art is fantastic, and the initial navigation is fantastic, but a lot of it is more frustrating than engaging. I think I've found the minigame once by sheer accident. I can't even understand why I could plant the first seed so easily, but the second slot clearly open for me isn't an option to plant anything at all.

Due to where my eyes are drawn to, the majority of the content in the white box, noticing the black bar at the top with more options regarding my account was completely invisible to me until I was searching for my preferences.

Briefly checking into Dark Mode, there is a LOT more care taken into colors and with that color mention, it is much easier to see patterns that are intuitive to users. That care doesn't seem to have been taken with the light mode however. (I honestly can't even blame you for this. Light mode is often ignored since the majority of folks use dark mode.)

I feel there's a lot of improvements that could be done. I would likely have to develop a design myself to show, but those are my initial thoughts as a new user signing up.
