Some character design is from my personal series, but all assets are made during this game jam.

Took me 3 tries to get the good ending. Would have helped if I talked to everyone from the start, so it is on me. :) Simple music that does not get exhaustive. The characters and animations felt quite unique. Amazing pixel art portrait of the protagonist in the intro and outro. Really beautiful. Walking and jumping felt fine. Picking up items was a bit tricky. They seemed to have a small hit box and sometimes it felt like I had to hold the B button. Not elegant, but since there was no timing or precision needed, it did not get in the way overall. Fun little experience.

The level structure is really unmemorable, unfortunately. I spent most of the rating time playing this game, still can't finish. HK(?) setting could be a reason, I have no experience with the city and with Chinese ways of living whatsoever. Maybe in color mode, it would be easier to navigate?
I liked this quest game, I think I didn't get the "right" ending, I was told I had used the vacuum cleaner on innocent people :p
In any case, it runs perfectly well on my original Game Boy DMG, bravo, the sprites and background are magnificent, and the music fits the atmosphere perfectly, bravo!
wow, you tried my game in gameboy. Thanks so much.
yes, it's a multi ending. After the rate period, i will make a fix, so that it's easier to understand
I love the graphics and the atmosphere. Really reminds me of my time in China. Great job!
Great music!
Love the art style! Those cutscenes are fantastic!
it looks gorgeous in color, why didnt you put a color screenshot?
just beat this game. love the ideas, looking for more.
nevermind, the default palete looks so good with your game that I thought it was hand picked, haha
This was the game I was most excited to play. As someone who previously lived in Hong Kong, I love the way you captured the feel of the country/SAR in such a beautiful art style. I love the use of traditional Chinese folklore and culture. This was a delightful game to play, I love it and I would really love a full game in this style.
Thanks for playing the game. Nice to know that you have been in my city. The whole Song of Morus project is about protagonist Song the taoist priestess fighting ghost, undead and demon in Hong Kong . Maybe you will also like my other games in this series.
I will check them out!
Some bugs/ oddities in traversing the map, but great concept and full of charm! :]
absolutely cute game!! i had a hard time figuring out how to move to different parts of the map: i thought i had to climb, but once i got used to having B be interact and how to go, the rest of the game really worked out nicely!!
the art was so lovely, and i really felt immersed in the city!! wonderful job on the game!!!
Beautiful art, liked the game :)
This was really fun. I absolutely loved the backgrounds!
Love the Art! Great game!
Hi Sunny Chow. IDK if you'll see this but it's Oliver2402 from discord I love your game! I hope to see more games in the future!
Hey it's you. Thanks for liking my game. Yes I am definitely going to make more games, probably also experimenting more platforms too.
Pretty game with cute characters! I can see it turned into a full interesting game.
I liked the art and music, the atmosphere, graphics and music transports you to China. Enjoyed the gamplay.
I really liked your additional theme of the Chinese ghost festival to the trade and puzzle mechanic. the character designs were cute and nicely readable. the city looked like something i’d like to explore more. great work.
Charming game. And the Chinese setting makes it feel unique.
I loved the graphics and the mechanics! Well done !
