A really heartfelt narrative. I really liked the various gameplay mechanics on display here. I also like your choice of music used, except for one place where it did not feel right (the one where you're chasing Tony(?) through town).  I also really enjoyed the retro feel that the graphics and level design evoked. Also, the final dungeon was very well-designed imo - there were instances where I had lost my way, and that's a good thing since that is how caverens really are; they're labyrinths. That said, there were instances when the colliders on objects were way too big and it looked like I was colliding with air rather. Also, the movement animation is slightly jarring and does not gel well with the character's movement speed. All in all, I really enjoyed the emotional narrative presented here. Great work!

Cool retro style game.

Nice retro feel, like Pokemon and Stardew Valley vibes. It was really comfy to play. Agree that with some polish it would be a pretty neat game. My cat agrees.

Its is a good little game! Something that I really enjoy in terms of graphics! I love the retro pixel art style! Great job! With a little more polish I can see this becoming a amazing game you could add to steam!
