Super cute and well-polished! I was stretching the limits of my memory by the end (I am sooo bad at memory games), so I was grateful for the extra lives - I'm glad I got to see it to its resolution. The dialogue tone was very sweet and warm, which I'm always so fond of.
It was a good length for me, much longer/difficult and I might have needed to surrender, and it felt like enough time to fully explore the mechanic.
Reminded me of Ecruteak Gym in Pokémon Gold/Silver, which isn't even really that similar - perhaps the art style just tapped into that nice nostalgic feeling!
I hope you're feeling recovered and prepared for the journey ahead, congratulations on making such a lovely piece of art while feeling crummy, best of luck 💚
