I really like the 2.5D style and the concept of scavenging, and the backpack physics are super fun! stuff flying out when you run such a cool touch. I did get a bit lost on where to pick up quests or see which quest I was currently on and I wasn’t sure where to trade items in for acorns. I feel like maybe I missed it, but clearer guidance would help a lot for me. Overall it’s a really cool idea!

I'm so glad both of you enjoyed the game!! Hopefully I can help explain some things -- when you first talk to a critter, they go to a specific room in the tree. clicking on their room on the map in the top right will show their quests (both inside the tree and outside of the tree). After collecting the items they request and storing them in your bag and/or the chest in the tree, you can talk to them again with F (find their room with the top right tree map, while inside the tree) and complete the quest (and gain acorns). The "buy" signs in the tree help you complete quests by letting you buy items you're missing for 3 acorns (and there's no way to sell extra items).
There's a bit to get the hang of, so hopefully this helps :). Thanks again for playing!
