I noticed you submitted this with 9 days left. It seems like it definitely could have used more time. It’s a start and it is complete but it could use some polishing for sure.

A simple game but has character through the dialogue.

I beat the game.  (sadly no ending screen? just infinite bugs minigame) Here is a honest review with things that could go better in game:
- Pixel scale is changing beetwen images and that looks bad (some sprites have pixels 1x1, some 2x2 and envrioment elements are even bigger
- Music is a bit squeaking, It gets annoying over time.
- Gameplay is planned badly, there is no hidden design how directing the player so you just wander around some empty fields clicking on everything
- Shatter bugs mini game had a lot of lag in my case and bugged out with collision from up side so I had problem gathering them from up.
- Secondary theme not very creative here. I feel like it's just an rpg maker game that was pelted with symbols of bad luck

Neverthless congratulations on finishing the game jam sucesfuly! Every game deserves a moment of time in game jams. I bet this is one of your first games so that's a success in itself.

It's kinda interesting how we both heard the prompt 'unlucky' and we both decided to make a game about a black cat helping a town with unlucky things!  I think I beat the game (Is there anything after catching the bugs?)
