Really like the art, writing, and music.
There seemed to be some inconsistency with getting the NPCs to give you items. I talked to the NPCs that give you the fire fighter badge and lemon several times without them giving me their items, and when they did give me their items, I had no idea how I made them do it.
I found an exploit that let me cheese the game. By leaving a room that had an egg and re-entering it, I could recollect the egg. This let me skip collecting the other eggs and easily beat the game.
