Hahaha, this was cute!
Things I liked: The artstyle (Paper Mario aesthetics make me happy), the general premise, the fact that I had moral choices to make that affected the ending (and what a funny set of endings they were, haha!), the digging mechanic (very cute!), the music, and the hilarious dialogue! All the important stuff!
Things that need improvement: The biggest problem is that it took me too long to figure out that you can only be on one sidequest at a time. I was kinda frustrated that I couldn't pick up the medallion even though it was right there, and it wasn't until my second or third playthrough that I realized I needed to finish planting flowers and talk to the gardener first. Other than that, the crane game is pretty broken, but I guess that's what you'd expect from a crane game that steals wallets.
Overall, great entry! I really had a good time, and I want to see the world beyond that poorly-designed tunnel without lights in it! :)
I'd appreciate it if you could find the time to check out my own entry, The Chronicles of Mega-Mart! It doesn't have ants or birds in it, but it DOES have candy bars you can steal! :)
