Thank you so much for your kind words! I love story driven games as well, and this is the first game I've made the story the main focus, so I'm really glad people are liking it. Your game's story with the plants and water was really creative and charming as well. And Hollow Knight is one of my favorite games of all time so I'm glad my entry reminded you of that!
I agree with the spacebar thing. In fact I probably shouldn't have made it the swap key since it's usually used for jump, but I wanted to map it to a key that was easy to reach. I'm very happy that you enjoyed my game tho, thanks for playing :D
