Hi. I've just finished Croc Remastered and I'm impressed with the overall quality of the remaster. But there are a few small issues I'd like to highlight in the hope that they will be patched.
1) The swinging spike ball trap has a strangely large hit box. I take damage even when the ball is far away from me. This makes getting past them a nightmare, as I'm constantly getting hit when I shouldn't. I'm not sure if this was a problem with the original game, but I think it should be patched in the remaster at least.
2) The sounds that bosses make (both voices and attack sound effects) are quiet to the point where they are almost silent. I don't know if this a result of the game trying to make distant sounds quieter. In any case, I can barely hear them.
One last annoyance; I wish you didn't use AI for art of the characters. It's mostly not noticeable for the landscape textures, but for Croc's lives icon and the stained glass windows in the fourth world, it's pretty obvious and ugly.
If you get around to remastering Croc 2, please hire an actual human artist for the character icons at least. They can give you so much more expression than AI can!
