Funny and surprising !

Art and dialogue are incredibly charming. Really liked the animated background effect during the "combat".
I would really like to see this come to fruition and evolve into a full game, honestly. I need to see the little bunny get to the Big Place!

Submitted

Fun game,  I really enjoyed it

Submitted

The story was fun and the art is cute ^^

Game was great. I liked the visual and the sound was really nice. I wish that the slider gave me a bit more control over the music and the sound effects, but it does good enough job. I also would've liked if the combat control where in a different grid, was a bit hard to recognize which button is which.

Pretty cute and fun game, I don't know if it is the engine (cause I never heard of PICO-8) but the arrow keys where so small that at first I didn't know which buttons I needed to press on the battle and I just started randomly pressing all buttons until it worked lol, but I loved the graphics and vibes, looking forward to see a more complete version in the future :)

Actually, the whole reason that there are 4 lines of arrows instead of one is that I couldn't think of an arrow symbol that would be readable at different speeds on PICO-8

PICO-8 is a fun little platform that works like a retro computer without the hardware. It's like an emulator for a console that never existed, hence the term "fantasy console." It's very fun to prototype and make small games for it!

Awesome!

The music, graphics and gameplay were all really charming. Especially the multiple endings were a pretty neat touch :)

I have to see more >:D

Submitted

Funny game, a great shame that it was so short, I wanted more!
Also really enjoyed the music

Submitted

Nice fun game.

Maybe a bit short (shorts- pants, getem? :D)

I liked the fighting sequence and played it twice because I wanted to find out the dialogue of the other options :D

Good entry to the jam, well done :)

It is in fact shorter than we could pull off. Life got in the way of jamming, we couldn't get all of the story in there for the deadline :( 

We'll try to get an updated version out at a later time

Haha this is dope!

Submitted

Very cute very pants!

Submitted

Very silly, I like the idea of potential Undertale-esque "fights" with inanimate objects. Like pants.

Submitted

Love the style, wish to see more content

Very innovative with the theme, very cute and fun game, congrats!
