A straightforward idea fantastically executed with an art style that really puts it apart. I did struggle a lot on my way upward but the cute characters certainly made up for it. Sometimes the controls could be communicated a tad better (maybe as hovering tooltips over the characters after being idle for a few seconds?) but otherwise I don't have any big complaints. For some reason it did remind me of those old new-grounds type flash games that I used to waste hours on (which is a compliment!). Great job!
