I love every play on words that you have here. Nostalgia hit hard in this one, and I'm all for it! I hope we can find many more adventures with Yer in the projects to come. Great job, Grumpy! Dev on!

Also... I absolutely love the combination of Badgers, Mushrooms and Snakes :D

This feels like a really cool base for a much bigger game. I like the art and the simple stat and combat system. Hope you take this further to add more depth and meaning in the future. Nice job overall though!

This was a little nostalgic for me - I grew up on RPGs and roguelikes with descriptive combat.

Nice tileset. I would've loved some more areas to explore and dicover.

I enjoyed this one!

My enjoyment was largely carried by the writing which I think you did extremely well on! I love the play on words with "Yer" and the joke about "Nothing" being an actual item in your inventory was also really fun! Though I do think that "Nothing" should only be present in your inventory when you don't have anything else as it makes more sense and was the most minor of nuisances to have to scroll past every time. Largely just a nitpick as I don't see any major issues with the game and I experienced no bugs or glitches.

Great work!

An interesting thought about Nothing.

Might have been more complex to implement. Tho it might not have.

Perhaps ponder this: in addition to the badger skins, snake skins, and big shrooms, you are carrying nothing else.

Perhaps it should have situationally been called "nothing else"

This was a fascinating experience, seeing VB alive and well. Yer has a simple but honest life and routine. It was charming.
