Let people know how long this project has been going, or share a bit of its history.
I started this game for a school project near the end of my first semester in college. I thought I'd return to it immediately to polish up some rough edges but I ended up abandoning it for a few months due to many crazy things going on in my life, one of them including having to quarantine after catching COVID while my grandparents and extended family suffered through it as well. After feeling well enough to work, I finally got around to putting the finishing touches on my first game ever, and I really hope people enjoy it. Here's to a better year!

Interesting idea. I think with a game as simple as this you can afford to have less text, tbh I skipped over most of it. Also it would have been nice it the font fit with the pixel-art aesthetic.

Thanks for the feedback! That's actually super useful information for me, I'm focusing on less text and more gameplay for my next project. And I agree with you about the font!

The chunky pixel art is really nice! Got all 4 endings, that cave shroom is well hidden!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the art :)
