This had a bit of a "Putt Putt"-game vibe.  No idea what Putt Putt games are?  That's because I am ancient like my first computer, the ZX81 Spectrum.

I can see this minimalist style being very entertaining to young kids, with the vibrant music, simple interaction, and clear story with a hero and a villain.   It certainly brought a smile to my face too.  Well done.

Great work guys! This was a really cool interactive experience! The art, audio, and story are all very well done. I had a smile on my face the whole way through! And really cool to see you use an engine other than Unity!

Some improvements that could be made:

- In terms of the subtitles, rewriting the lines so that there is a clear distinction between dialogue and actions would be recommended. Use " " for dialogue, and * * for actions.

- The GUI could be rearranged to be more clear. For instance the names of the characters appeared to be behind the subtitle panel.

- I found some of the scene was covered by the GUI. The subtitle panel itself could be made smaller, or the characters moved higher in screen space to avoid this.

- I see that the engine offers the ability to include narrative choices, could be cool to include in future versions.

- Some extra audio such as SFX to match the scene actions or even narration would be cool as well.

All around you guys did an excellent job though, very impressive!
