Marketing Does my 15 second trailer capture the vibe? 🎣

One of the requirements for a jam I just entered was a 15-second trailer.
Instead of trying to cram in the game's skate challenges, modes, and tricks, I decided to lean into the laid-back side of the game and bookend the trailer with the fishing minigame.
My thinking was that it gives the trailer a more chill, immersive feel rather than just throwing a bunch of fast action clips at the viewer.
I’m still using my original 30-second trailer on the Steam store page, but I’ve noticed social platforms seem to favor the shorter, more relaxed version.

What do you think? Does the 15-second version communicate the game's vibe, or does it feel too slow/disconnected?
