Had a stellar time with this game! Wonderful art and music, I really liked the lore of how a world of having three friends and Tricks was integrated into the story. Really good level design, love how the cave has shortcuts to earlier areas and to the other side of town. The whole experience was outstanding and cozy, I wanted to live in that town ~

I had a lot of fun smacking monsters while wearing a frog on my head. Beautiful art, great music and polished combat. Well done!
So everyone can see the amazing visual work in this game, which I am also floored by, but specifically I want to call out the colors! Creating a cohesive, communicative and pleasing color palette is difficult and this game absolutely NAILS it. Wonderful portraits, as people have already mentioned, and charming sprite work. Just so enjoyable to look at and be a part of that world.
I have to agree with everyone else that this game needs a sprint toggle because for a long game it can get really painful for me. Some type of special mouse cursor icon to indicate where you're aiming would have been helpful to me. It's so easy to just not see a normal mouse cursor in the middle of battle. That aside this was such a wonderful entry! The music and art just worked so well together. Charming to the max! And, I'm not sure how many endings there are, but the one I got was really sweet. I'm glad I finally got to meet Kevin, too.
Co-signing--accessibility work and bug fixes are definitely always mid-jam acceptable patches! I can't use non-toggle sprints without lasting effects, so along with stuff like flashing lights, subtitles, etc, those kinds of accessibility options make games playable for more people and are always a-okay to add :)
This game really took advantage of the rules making a nice and complete story in a short amount of time. This with the addition of excellent art and music maker Almatetra a strong enrty in this gamejam.
This was incredible. Everything about it was so full of charm and felt so polished. Seriously impressive stuff for the time frame you made this in.
Really amazing game! Just loved the sprite work and portraits, they were packed with character. The music, sound and other visual effects all tied it together so nicely. Super impressive!
Brimming with charm and personality. Extremely polished presentation. Basically a hit
Really great art, and nice chill music. It's a really impressively fully realized little game.
This was legitimately one of the cutest looking games i have ever played regardless of time, budget, or scope. Your art style is amazing and i really loved playing this
