Short and sweet! I like the way you used the butterflies here, both as a symbol and in the gameplay. The characters are charming, I'm really happy about how things turned out for them!

Sure! this is a playlist of a very good pixel artist, covers a lot of themes, MortMort also has great tutorials (especially helpful if you decide to use Aseprite for your art), and last but not least Adam C Younis has a lot of tutorials that cover everything, from beginner stuff to more advanced things. If you have particular questions or need some help you can talk to me and I'll be happy to try and help you out, I'm be no means the best pixel artist, but I graduated as a visual communicator and been working as a graphic designer for +5 years so I know a thing or two about art in general, my discord is joaototti#9423 :)

Thanks! Yeah I'm not suuuuper used to pixel art yet so I wasn't well set on the sizes and that led to some blur.
Pros
- Perfect use of the magical realism theme! You really knew how to implement it!
- Fantastic visuals! I loved the art style and the sprites!
- Music was absolutely amazing and fitting! Congratulations to composer Steven TamJam. 10/10 music, I loved it.
- Although the game is short, the plot is very engaging and you actually care for these characters. Getting to see how Alina and her wife met was very sweet!
Cons
- I came across a bug: some words would overlapp. It's certainly not a serious bug and I could still enjoy the game though.
Overall: very short but fun and sweet game with adorable visuals, a really engaging plot and a fantastic soundtrack! The implementation of the magical realism theme was simply perfect!
