Cute game with a nice complete little story. Just a nice polished jam game.

Well Done!

I eventually found the README, but I recommend also putting it on your game page since that's where I think most people will check first for instructions.

A fun little game, great job! A lot of moon logic, but it really fits the art style (e.g. it reminds me of the original King's Quest).

LOL that ending tho. A+

I liked the pixel art and the music. The whole concept of a game revolving around a favourite saying of someone is nice too. But I missed some instructions what to do. It took me five minutes to figure out that I need to press Space just to enter the next room. Then he keeps talking about tasks - but which tasks are those? And the key in the tree in the park - is there a way to get it? I jumped onto it several times, pressed Space while flying though it and nothing happened :( sorry, that was a bit much criticism. You clearly got you basics right, implemented movement, sound, story, etc :)

If you feel like it, leave me a rating and comment as well :)

Thanks for the feedback! I must admit it myself that a big problem with my game is lack of instructions. I did not focus on it early on, so when the deadline approached I quickly wrote a "READ ME" text where the instructions were hidden. 

The difficult to get key was intentional to pro-long the play time a little bit and make it a little bit harder. You need to press space while you are on the key and the catch is that you can't see the player falling on the key, so a little bit of a guess work (frustrated even myself).  But if it's true that you didn't get past the key part then I still recommend you to see the ending (it's not very long).
