I liked this game! The art is charming and gave off MOTHER 1/Pokemon vibes. I'm especially in love with the jump animation. The light puzzle parts were fun too, like the forest riddle and finding the cave password. If anything I wish the game leaned more its puzzles! Really my only critiques of the game are a couple small things. Like the screen transitions felt too abrupt, which made it hard to tell what was a dead-end or a transition to another part of the island. Another is that the obstacle course to the cave was a bit tedious. The timing on the jumps felt too strict for its own good, and I suspect there's no coyote time which didn't help matters. But I finished the game having a pleasant time!

Thank you. I am proud I made the art myself this time and it turned out well, good to know you liked it too. The gen 2 pokemon sprites were used as a reference, and the jump animation was actually referenced from Link's Awakening DX. As for the puzzles, I also wanted to make it explorable instead of just focusing on puzzles.
I understand the issues you mentioned, I will try to work on them in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
