I like the concept a lot! Im a sucker for pixel art and the mc has a fun design.
I do have some feedback. The collision needs to be tuned in a bit. I kept getting trapped in houses. I do feel like there should be a couple things to feel like progression besides Grandpas stomach. Like a crescendo of cops as the days go. Or like the donkeys start to go missing. Also a mechanic to increase health or stamina would be nice. Maybe from the pixie looking characters that spawn on the north side or by feeding Grandpa.
A couple small things I think could be attended to faster, if you are allowed to edit during the contest. I think with a one hand layout, the space bar would be better for spamming stabs. Did feel a bit awkward. When going back to the farm, I do feel like we should enter from the right instead of spawning at the door to the house.
I think this is a great first attempt at a game jam! Good concept, fun design, and good music. While theres some bugs, nothing is falling apart and I didnt crash. I look forward to further releases
