I love the general design and pixel art, and the game gets very hectic, though I feel the time limits may be a bit too long, especially in the first 2-3 days. Still one of my favorites of the jam so far!

Some of the physics are a tad-bit wonky, but there's not much you can do to fix that in 48 hours. Fantastic design!

The graphics are simple, but it reminds me a lot of old freeware games, where good design was put far ahead of fancy graphics. Great job, would love to see more levels!

This totally has to be one of the best designed games I've seen from this jam yet! The art is simple but it really helps with the cute tone, great job!

The audio settings don't seem to work all the time

I really liked the idea, the different types of animals were very cool too. If this game needs anything, it's a bit of polish, which is very difficult to create in such a tight time frame. Good job!

I would say so, but going back to prior rooms would have to be a big point of the game for it to really be fit for the theme.

"There and back again" is often used as an idiom meaning to leave and then return to the same place soon after, though this theme could also be interpreted as being about the movement of time. If you want, you could even focus on a single word and grab some ideas from that. Hope this helps!

well the theme hasnt been announced yet so making a game that adheres to it may be slightly difficult
