Thank you very much for your kind comment, the nice things you said about the game made me very happy, for the in game visuals I found some hedgehog drawings on pinterest, I drew them in inkscape, everything in the game was drawn in inkscape, for the color palette I preferred complementary colors purple and yellow, of course I also used black and white with gradients, the art part actually didn’t take as much time as it looks, with a few tutorials I think anyone can create simple 2d assets, I’m glad you liked it, the real challenge for me was resolution of this PNG exports and animations, I didn’t have much experience in that area

It’s not actually a very deep story, but it was something I wanted to get out of my system. Back in 2019–2020, I saw some images of animals that died in the wildfires in Australia. There was a picture of a mother and baby hedgehog that had died in the fire. 

In the photo the mother looked like she was shielding her baby, however in the end they both lost their lives, even though they were animals I felt that motherhood is a very strong instinct, when we say "connection" this topic immediately came to my mind

I’m not usually a sensitive person, but that image really affected me. This game is just an alternative where that baby hedgehog didn’t die.

Thanks for playing.
