Nice job! This definitely gives cozy and mellow vibes (also, your game page is expert level). It's thought-provoking to see this style of game set in an NES jam. The biggest sellers of the era seem to all emphasize quick reactions and dexterity challenges across the dominant genres -- action/platforming, adventure, puzzles (e.g. Tetris, Dr. Mario), and sports games. A game that got your heart rate up was a success. Nintendo only later hit on the idea that peaceful, relaxing games were also appealing, but it makes one wonder what might have been if the NES era had had games with this approach. Nice work!

Thank you for playing it :) Also it's funny cause those were exactly my thoughts when the theme was announced, I just sorta laughed and was like well, it's going to be a bunch of people saving the princess in a castle type games.... which there are some AWESOME versions of those on here, a few I favorited to come back to later. I just always try to do something different and I like cozy games so thought I would give it a try, something simple :)
And you're right imagine if Nintendo did Animal Crossing on SNES or even NES, would be neat to see :)
