The art in this project is incredible. Y'all knocked it out of the park. It gives the whole game this sort of retro feeling with the large, detailed sprites and text banner. I like it.
The core idea here is really fun, but it felt a bit pulled in opposite directions. Pretending to be different NPCs to help your NPC child be less-NPC feels like a novel take. And the game feels part sim/management and part mini-game collection. So the platforming elements to jump into a chimney feels a bit out of place. And going to the weapon blacksmith feels a bit frustrating since you can't jump on the roof directly like the shieldsmith's building. Of course you only had 48 hours, but it feels like there could have been a pivot from platformer to this or some competing ideas during development.
Still, you all made a game in 48 hours which is a huge accomplishment, every time you do it. Congrats and submitting, especially something with solid art and animations.
Keep making games! :)
