This is one of the most professional looking submissions by a long shot. The audio-visual style is going to put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. Definitely in my top 10.
You called it a "prelude" and I hope you make good on that promise by developing this further. Clearly you guys can make a great game.
Thanks, glad to hear it. The aim was certainly to make something with a positive vibe. And I definitely plan to develop it a bit further after the voting, but I think it will still stay a prelude at the moment. I did think of adding a collage of tiny adventure scenes as an ending cutscene and who knows maybe it'll grow into something bigger one day.
Very cute game! Simple little "story", I liked it! The pixel art is amazing and I am also amazed with the amount of animations you made! The music is also nice and relaxing! Well done!
Thanks! Making little animations is probably my favourite part of creating games, it always feels so enjoyable and rewarding to draw those.
This is a very cute and relaxing game. That sassy fox is great. Nice work!
Thank you! And yes, sassy animals are always the best.
Short, but sweet. Really lovely art.
Good work!
Thank you! Appreciate the play and comment.
Super lovable game. Everything its perfect and polished. No more words.
Thank you! It's really cool to see people enjoying it.
What an amazing game! I loved the 90s feel of it. It would've been nice to have some sound effects (some heavily compressed ones, even!) but it still doesn't take away from the fact that it's just a really neat game. A short and sweet little adventure <3
Thank you! The 90s games certainly were an inspiration for this. Yeah, the sound effects were the last things in the to-do list. Sadly, we only had the time to put in a few, but the game definitely needs some more.
Thank you for playing and commenting! The AGS engine, while a bit dated in some aspects, is still an excellent tool for creating pixel art games, so that really helped me with the resolution restrictions. I do plan to add bit more content after the voting period and make it a little longer.
