I liked the interaction with the merchant, and being able to buy food with money that you find. It gave an idea of what to do, even though I did not know what I had to do. 

Figuring out the controls took a while as there were no indication or instructions on how to move as well as to talk to the merchant. Some audio would added some ambience to the game.

Congratulations on your first Godot game. Keep it up!

You are on the right path bro!

Try nesting your sprites in YSort. They will automatically layer them selves to foreground and background of each other by y position.

Really nice message, warmed my heart!
