Hey !
I really like your game, you've put so much work into it.
Do you intend to continue it ? I'm gonna follow you on itch and twitter to get updates and see more games like that.
Great job!

Thanks! I do plan on working on it a bit more, I have a few more ideas plus I would like to eventually put it on steam hopefully.

A fun and challenging game that I’m definitely going to have to return to. I felt like I was doing pretty poorly on my first run, but given that I got to the second zone I suppose it wasn’t that bad!

One thing I’d really like is a way to make it fullscreen.

Hi Jay, at first I thought your game had a big learning curve, but after started playing it was very easy to understand the gameplay loop. Pixel art is great. As Sean said below UI is a little confusing, but I wish I had some advice to give you on that. Overall it is a very nice game. Cheers!

This was fun! The UI was a little confusing at times, but new mechanics were introduced at a decent pace so it wasn't too overwhelming.

I also ran into a minor bug with the combining items event where I could fill up my inventory with unusable copies of the merged item by repeatedly clicking it. It didn't seem to negatively affect anything though, just a visual bug.

Glad you had fun, also oh no, I'll look into that right away thanks for letting me know!

thanks!  I have been struggling with presenting the start in an easy to pick up way.  I threw in tips at the last minute but it really needs a better explanation :D
