Are/will there be any more upgrades past the first shop? I got Running Boots and the Ring of Power but am still slow and weak.
I think the Dreamer like Super Mario Bros, at least SMB2 and SMW. =)
I defeated the Eye. I love the traffic cones in the WIP area.
I have one nitpick: My personal preference is never tell the player not to do something and expect them to do so anyway. Having the option "No" made me believe I might be missing something, but no, it's just a gag.
...and one minor suggestion: Have the dialogue change when 1) you get all 8 orbs and 2) you defeat the Eye.
An enjoyable game. I did start to get a little lost though, so I suppose a map would come in handy too.
Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, there will be another shop and more powerful attack items in the second part of the game (which I am hopefully able to release in the next few weeks, although maybe without the final boss first).

If you refer to the dialogue before the battle with The Eye, the option "No" is there so the player does not accidentally start the battle. It might be a bit confusing, true, so I guess I could make the player start licking the eye without any dialogue (or just add dialogue telling that "You decide to lick the eye").
Have the dialogue change when 1) you get all 8 orbs and 2) you defeat the Eye.
You mean dialogue with the NPCs? At the moment the dialogue is "static" and the game engine does not really support changing it easily (without hardcoding some conditions, but I try to avoid that).

It would be handy, but the way I programmed the game map would be pretty hard to implement at this point.
