Had a stellar time with this game! Wonderful art and music, I really liked the lore of how a world of having three friends and Tricks was integrated into the story. Really good level design, love how the cave has shortcuts to earlier areas and to the other side of town. The whole experience was outstanding and cozy, I wanted to live in that town ~
This is an impressively polished entry, especially considering the amount of time given and its ambition. The spritework and music were particular standouts.
I love the art and UI, it looks so good!~

I had a lot of fun smacking monsters while wearing a frog on my head. Beautiful art, great music and polished combat. Well done!
I really loved it.
So everyone can see the amazing visual work in this game, which I am also floored by, but specifically I want to call out the colors! Creating a cohesive, communicative and pleasing color palette is difficult and this game absolutely NAILS it. Wonderful portraits, as people have already mentioned, and charming sprite work. Just so enjoyable to look at and be a part of that world.
I have to agree with everyone else that this game needs a sprint toggle because for a long game it can get really painful for me. Some type of special mouse cursor icon to indicate where you're aiming would have been helpful to me. It's so easy to just not see a normal mouse cursor in the middle of battle. That aside this was such a wonderful entry! The music and art just worked so well together. Charming to the max! And, I'm not sure how many endings there are, but the one I got was really sweet. I'm glad I finally got to meet Kevin, too.
Thank you for the feedback MayorMcFrumples! The dash toggle was planned but I was afraid that updating the game with this sort of improvement could be seen as taking an unfair advantage during the jam's judging period. But once the jam ends the game will be updated to include that function.
Based on the updates I've seen from other games, a toggle-dash would be perfectly acceptable change! Seeing as it relates more to accessibility than, say, adding more content, it makes sense to add it in.
Co-signing--accessibility work and bug fixes are definitely always mid-jam acceptable patches! I can't use non-toggle sprints without lasting effects, so along with stuff like flashing lights, subtitles, etc, those kinds of accessibility options make games playable for more people and are always a-okay to add :)
This game really took advantage of the rules making a nice and complete story in a short amount of time. This with the addition of excellent art and music maker Almatetra a strong enrty in this gamejam.
When I first stepped out of the house and the drums and bass joined the town music - top notch! Remarkable work from all involved!
This was incredible. Everything about it was so full of charm and felt so polished. Seriously impressive stuff for the time frame you made this in.
Really amazing game! Just loved the sprite work and portraits, they were packed with character. The music, sound and other visual effects all tied it together so nicely. Super impressive!
Seriously impressive entry. Great, polished art, cute versions of the main characters, really nice music. Just a sweet game all-round. Great job to everyone involved!
Brimming with charm and personality. Extremely polished presentation. Basically a hit
Really great art, and nice chill music. It's a really impressively fully realized little game.
This was legitimately one of the cutest looking games i have ever played regardless of time, budget, or scope. Your art style is amazing and i really loved playing this
This comment was heartwarming and made me really happy, thank you so much Wujak!
