Thank you for the feedback, while I was adjusting the speed I wasn't sure whether I wanted the player to conveniently zip around, or just walk fairly slowly. Didn't have time to add a run feature, but I can try adding it into a planned feature list for a post jam version. It's my first jam game and I basically had to relearn game maker after not using it for so long, so all feedback is welcome!
The area outside was a bit rushed, so there is a lot of empty space with nothing to do, to finish the game you need to find a small stone to insert into the big standing stone obelisk in the bottom right that has a hint writing next to it. One feedback from one of my friends was to make the gate exit more obvious, but since it would require me to make a new sprite I wasn't sure I can add that to the polished version.
