I enjoyed this, it's incredible what you were able to create in a short time. Pixel art is great, very good aesthetic. Really enjoyed the short story you told through the game, I'm rooting for your win and looking forward to what you'll make in the future!
Thank you! You saying this really means a lot to me! It was a super fun challenge (and my first ever GameJam, cherry popped! yay!) Cant wait to get cracking on bigger things :)
I also have a ptach ready to roll out once the judging period is over that will fix some minor bugs and flesh out some story bits that I didnt have time to finish before the deadline (mostly adding protagonist comments on different items and interactions)
