- This is a fun idea, but the execution is a little lacking unfortunately. The main issue I had was the fairy's speed being so much faster than the boy's. It was extremely easy to leave the boy behind after moving forward in one direction for a second, so having to move by repeatedly tapping the movement keys to move a little and then stop got extremely frustrating. Also the map being so big with no hint as to where the house might be was annoying as I felt like most of the game was just wandering aimlessly until you got swarmed by a bunch of enemies randomly and lost. The art was fine, although with the way objects were procedurally dropped around it made everything feel kind of messy and cluttered.
- Interesting take on an escort mission

Nice graphic, and good use of the theme, though it was a tad hard to control and he kept getting stuck in holes and when I tried to save him he just fell in again.
Theme was on point, music and art were very good… but I just didn’t have fun with this one. I have no idea where I was supposed to go, and the boy just kept being hit with too many enemies at once.
Hi Jaxah, thanks for the feedback. We didn't get to implement all the hints that would make the house easier to find. I did manage to add footprints to lead the way last minute. In the future, we would definitely want to add more clues to make the game more interactive and fun.
Pretty good aesthetics and interpretation of the theme, tried as much as I can like the others but never found the home :(
Thanks for your comment Mohamed! I don't know if they were super obvious, but I added footprints to help guide you to the house. I would've liked to add more clues, but ran out of time.
I love the music and art! I could never get the two items to work though, dunno why...
Thanks for the feedback & kind comments! The items only work in a certain range of the boy, maybe that is why? Idk why otherwise ahh
Hello! Love the cute cover illustration and all the pixel art in game! My favorite was the pinata :)
Maybe I’m not patient enough but I never did find the house to guide the boy to, but I could keep him alive perfectly fine haha
Thanks for the kind comments Alice! I tried to add footprints to make a 'path' to the house, but in the future, I would definitely like to add more clues or make the world more expansive!
Ok, I tried again knowing the existence of the footprints this time and I finally found the house and won AHAHA
Feedback now that I’ve cleared the game: the footprints are footprint shaped knowing that they’re there, but I think I originally thought they were rocks or just completely did not realize, since they’re colored pretty closely to the trees and earthiness going on. Even knowing they were footprints, I realized after coming across a number that I wasn’t entirely sure if the direction they were facing was actually indicative of the right direction to go since a number would conflict with one in its vicinity, so I proximity guessed the right way to go haha
The game definitely became more challenging after knowing to follow the footprints, in a good way so I wasn’t just randomly leading the boy around the forest!
Cute art!
