A really heartfelt story, with a great sense of completeness to it! The character designs are cute and bouncy, and go great with the background art. The diversity on display, both in the characters themselves and in their sprite designs, is also really exciting to see, and I loved all the punny names. I also love all of your motion effects, especially at the beginning few scenes.  Sabine's self-discovery felt really touching and well-paced, and definitely hit home - some moments were tough to hear, & felt realistic to tough times of my own in school, but seeing how strong her support network and friendships were able to develop was really sweet. And Pepo & Poe are such sweeties! Huge congrats, and great job!!
