In what way does your game fit the theme?
My game explores interaction and companionship. Building bonds and relationships, and facing issues and setbacks with others is a huge part of growing stronger together.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code and created a majority of the artwork(minus some coloring help on backgrounds). The music is copyright free from sources that I've credited on my about page in-game.

You have a really charming art style! It'd be cool to see your work in any number of other 2D genres as well, like a chill exploration/puzzle game or something. I loved your characters. and yes to pronouns in video games 👏

If you continue to develop this project, I would offer up that the dialogue text color and the text background color could perhaps be tweaked for a greater level of contrast. It was a litle hard to read the white text on grey backgrounds before I moused over them.

Thank you so much! I wasn't able to add all the art and sprites I wanted to the game, but I feel like I came up with a healthy compromise that gave you guys a lot more to see and less work for my poor drawing hand! Thank you for your support!
