Really like the art ! I dont know if renpy is the most suited engine for this kind of game but good job !

I don't see why not? It was really easy for me to make. I keep seeing people say that I shouldn't have used renpy for this, but I was a part of making a similar game using unity last december, and honestly I think both of them work equally well, only difference is that I wouldn't have been able to make the unity game alone in such a short time :/
Edit: to be clear I'm genuinely curious why people are saying this to me. It doesn't come across as valid criticism for my game and I'm just a beginner. It's confusing :( it's not that I'm intending to only ever use renpy, but I wanted to get to know it thoroughly before moving on to learning different engines. I can't really learn to use everything it has to offer if I don't, well, do all the things it can do, even if some other engine would do it better
It's not criticism about the game in itself, it's more bout scalability of it and the effort it demands to develop features since renpy is a specialized engine for visual novel.
It's not something I took into account when rating your project, if you are more comfortable with renpy and you learnt about this engine it's perfectly understandable and I will even tell you to keep exploring this engine !
There were 3 total screens I had to make for this, each took me about 50 lines of code, and the game code itself is basically just show screen hide screen return. I think I would like to implement these mechanics into a bigger visual novel some day, and that is why I'm trying to learn as much about renpy as I can. I want to make a visual novel with various minigames in it. Gamejams are the perfect place for me to experiment :)
After this, I am planning to learn other engines regardless, but I do think I will keep returning to renpy since I don't exactly think I need all the extra stuff some of the other engines offer, and so they can actually slow down my visual novel projects instead of being helpful :/
Thanks for being so encouraging! I've encountered some negativity about my use of renpy since starting this hobby
