This game is so charming~ Our game also has a character swap mechanic (albeit not as incorporated as yours since we ran out of time), so that was fun to see and tied in nicely to the theme! The artstyle is really pleasing, I especially like the lotus girl’s design. Although it’s a bit jarring between the two characters — one being colored and having no idle animation whereas the other had no color and had an idle animation playing, not sure if that’s intentional for the theme or due to the time constraints.
I did also find a bug in the second area where the lotus girl got stuck if she went to the very edge of the tree before the old man could lower the branch. Once he lowered the branch, the girl was stuck in the air and couldn’t move at all, so I had to restart the game.
Aside from that, this a neat experience, kudos to your team!
