the textures are really good, i loved the tilemap and the animal sprites. the movement is a bit slow and annoying, and the sound it makes when swimming is getting annoying really quickly. the music is cool though, and the characters and story is really nice. i love how you unlock more dialogue options

I also don't like the swimming sound but it was a last minute addition. I got royalty free sfx into the game and then I realized that I have to make everything on my own, so with 5 hours left I did a bunch of rehauling, but it is what it is :) Same with the music, but it's nice to hear that you liked it. I was deddicated to adding a bunch of dialogue options (even if not all of them worked properly) so I'm especially glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for playing!
The dialogue was really good, the characters had their personalities, and their art style was really cute <3 I did find a small bug, so I'm letting you know in some cases there were more dialogue options than 9, and for a moment I thought I wouldn't be able to advance in the story (cannot press 10), but then when I pressed "q" it worked, and "w" worked for 11th dialogue option (it happened in the Turtle dialogue and with the Swan if I remember correctly). Overall your game was really fun to play :) Good job
Great writing! I will say that I kinda got spoiled by accidentally stumbling upon the answer. I did go back through to experience the game and I really like it. (though I wish there were multiple endings.
really good game! the game is fun to play, and I can see huge potentials with further polishes. The characters are so funny!
That was a pretty nice story! Liked the personality the characters had, and the world was nice to walk around. Quite the ending though! Anyway, great job!
