Hey! Really cool work! I'm glad to see another pocket and quick game with original artworks here. Btw your art is awesome! Great to see such a small zine with straight forward rules fully illustrated by hand.
The mini system is very effective, but very luck driven, you just roll dice and hope it works, not much choices to do. You could also reduce the setup part, maybe even including the character sheet in the first page instead of telling how to do it.
Also in fact we get no treasure in the end besides just completing the game, maybe you could use the last page for rolling a treasure which could affect a new game+ or something like that, to improve replayability.
Again, awesome work! Awesome art! Hope to see more zines of the series coming! All the best!

Hey!
Great feedback, I appreciate this. Thank you for the compliment on my art. I think the New Game + with the actual treasure is a great idea. I also agree with the "mostly luck-based" critique. I will implement these ideas into the next one. Thanks taking the time to share this with me; it's very thoughtful and it means a lot to me.
All the best!
