  • Wow so cute great work! You really did an amazing job creating such a wonderful vibe. Animation and models we really solid and I could see this up on an eshop like the Switch store or someplace. Thanks for adding a settings menu! Text animations were great and comments were actually really funny and enjoyable to read. Be nice to have an indicator that the talk is done so I don't accidently skip the message! Camera was a star here. It can help or hurt if too dizzying but would mostly really well done! Piggy lady was a bit fast I think and kind of got stuck in upper left part of map until I saw my character walk on screen. Color and music also helps to set the mood. I really want to learn more about all the characters. Sometimes got sort of stuck if I walked too close to the signs and stood there at an angle. Just when you make more I've love to play again! Great work!

Overall very cute and I love the intention of your design.  It took me a while to find the skeleton, but I struggle with search and find in most games so it might just be me.  Also, the camera movement was hard for me to keep playing with it.  I'd suggest making it a little more subtle, but very cute overall.

What a relaxing little game, great work! I particularly liked the interactions with NPCs - the textboxes, the little sounds they made, their characters, it was all really nice. The environment was lovely, and with the artstyle it felt like a really pleasant place to be. I loved the variety with the desert too - I wish it was used a bit more, but I'm sure there was more planned! The music was really fitting for the feel of the game as well, so it all came together to make a peaceful little experience, definitely calming. Thank you for making this game!

Marvelous bit of work here, really impressive amount of content and art. It looks really good, I enjoyed the dialogue a lot, and I had fun running around the little town. Add 4 more islands, rename it "The Fixer" or something and you've got a full game here.

Thanks! Will give it a thought

This game was so pleasant I loved helping out all the cute little characters around town! Some improvements I think would be helpful is an indicator for when a text bubble is done, I accidentally skipped over a good bit of dialogue when I thought the speech bubble was done but right as I hit e I saw that there was more text and it just skipped it.

Ah, now that would be a nice simpler approach for letting others know  there is more to read. Love it! Thanks!
