I loved the art of the game, and games with cats always come out ahead. Good job!

That's the water static image, I'll try to see if I can re-add it (I dont know why the game removed it)

I'll play the game some time soon

I didn't encounter any gameplay bugs personally, but some parts of the background had a constant flashing. It might after something to do with the way the water animation works, but it also could just be my monitor.

I think that's from my tileset edit to make it black and white. The first draft of the water made it strobe horribly but now that I know its still flashing at least I'll try to find a work around for moving water.  I'll try to add it before work today, thanks for catching this!

Got stuck in an endless loop (probably unrelated to the theme, lol) in the gate section by the old witch's house saying there's dark energy. No matter what button I pressed, the text kept popping up and it wouldn't disappear.

Love the game's art and animation. It's a nice black-and-white version of low bit graphics and looks just like an original Game Boy game in the best way possible.

Thanks for letting me know I'll see if I left a switch on and hope to patch it out! <3 Edit: figured it out! The event was SUPPOSED to be set to the door, but was set to the auto run event for checking if the player completed a task! Will be able to get that fixed and a few other things I found out soon. Thank you again! <3
