Absolutely loved this! A great example of focusing on something small and simple and knocking it out of the forest (haha!) I adore the artstyle - perfectly encompasses the cozy theme! There were a couple things that I noticed that could be improved, though. First, (game audio guy, couldn't help but notice this one haha) I think the footsteps sound you had was a bit too 8-bit for the look of the game, which took me out of the immersion at first (not completely, though!). I think reworking it to better pair with the visuals would do wonders for upping your immersion factor.  I also noticed that when going through the dialogue, there isn't an option to skip to the end of the typing effect and read the whole message, causing me to accidentally miss quite a few dialogues when doing so out of habit (yes, I am a serial text-effect skipper haha - I blame Pokemon).

This next one is a bit of a 2-for-1 haha. So, I was trying to see if there was a pause menu or anywhere to see current quests and objectives when I hit the Tab key and realized it basically skips through the audio? It seems to reset or flip between ambiences and mess with the music as well. I assume this is something that was left over from testing, just found it by accident haha! I do highly suggest adding some sort of quest tracker, as the nature of games like this can often get people turned around and forget who needs what and in what order. It's not as big of a deal for a game this size, but something to keep in mind as it can be super easy to get turned around without one. 

Final thing I noticed is just a little collision issue with the market stall and holdable objects. The objects seem to clip through the market stall when you're holding them, which looks a little funny but isn't a big deal by any means.

Overall, you folks did amazing. It's a genuine shame there aren't more ratings on this! The art, music, story - it's genuinely fantastic, especially considering you did this all within a 2-week jam, finished early, and everything was HAND PAINTED. Genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever seen. If you guys ever make more stuff together in the future, I will absolutely be playing it. 10/10.

The art is so fantastic in this game! Really great work! The story was cute and sweet and everything felt very cozy, especially the music, that was really good too! There are a few tiny graphical issues that can be easily ironed out when the jam is over, its a fantastic little game, you should develop it further after the jam ends. I would vary up some of the quests a bit if you were to continue development, fetch and return quests can get repetitive so maybe a few simple mini games thrown in and do something with that giant pumpkin. Great game!!!

such a cozy vibe, its like stepping into a painting or a children's picture book

What a fantastic submission! The characters and dialogue are incredibly charming and it has without a doubt one of the most unique art styles I've seen in this jam. While playing it I was filled with comfy feelings of nostalgia for the children's picture books I'd have read to me as a child, which is a theme this game captures perfectly.  June in particular is so cute and cuddly looking you just want to reach into the screen and hug him! The only major gripe I have is that the orthogonal movement is very slow so I spent the entire game walking diagonally. If you ever make a game akin to this again whether it be in the form of a game jam or full, paid game I'd definitely check it out!
