Did you work in a team?
Just me!
Was the resolution a challenge?
Not really! It helped me to focus on making smaller scale pixel art and to represent more game elements with images and symbols than text.
What did you learn?
This was my first point-and-click adventure game, as well as my first time trying to make some sort of inventory! I also *finally* figured out how to make a camera that sizes itself properly when changed to fullscreen - that's been a real struggle in the past.

What a fun little point and click game! And it looks so good too
All the puzzles were well clued so I was never left stumbling.. except for the end. I pieced all the clues together and got the final combination, but I never found out where I had to actually plug in the combination? Then I accidentally got soft locked after walking into the traffic cones on the far right and being unable to get out.
Very fun and well designed game though, with some great visuals and snarky dialogue I loved! My only complaints are quality of life: Movement sucked since you couldn't hold down to keep moving, and the puzzle pieces were a pain since you couldn't grab the one you wanted.
Great entry :)!
Very nice little point and click adventure! One of my fave entry for this jam! Love the ending! The puzzles are decent; there are some clever one, but overall are rather easy (perhaps because I played too many point and click 😛). I just wish the movement is a little easier; I have to keep spamming mouse click to move around the map, especially during the candy puzzle.
Overall, it is incredible that this level of completeness and polish is done within 2 weeks! Respect!
