The best game on itch.io that I've found since a looooong time, great job! Almost everything in this game is absolute perfection: the artstyle is very cute (I absolutely adore these little creatures), sound design is top notch and the main gameplay loop is also very well designed. The feel of almost constant progress and being able to go even deeper with each expedition feels very rewarding and satisfying. Can't wait for the full release!
Keep up the good work!
