So amazing job. The game is btfl and fluid, unique art. But the quests names with led Zeppelin songs... U catch me from the heart. Waiting for next phase, dango deserve that. Thank you

Thanks so much! :)

I actually was planning a sequel, but other projects got in the way. Maybe I'll do it someday.

This was a delight to play through even though the battery on my cartridge is busted so I had to restart every time I turned the GBC on!

The graphics are just amazing and the music is superb. Story and characters are cute and gameplay is smooth and very effective. Impressed with all the UI effects: all the letters in the text box, the health bar/key counter. I love how Dango waddles around.

Two bugs: If I up to the locked cave without completing all the quests, there is no way to get back down and find more quests without pressing A/B/Start/Select. Also, in the first fight with the ninja in front of the scroll, I got the dumpling health boost in the middle of the fight, and then waited forever for the ninja to reappear and keep fighting. It didn't happen and instead the music kept playing with the screen locked! A/B/Start/Select again.

Despite that, this is really stellar.

Thanks so much for your kind words! 😊

I'll take a look at those bugs, the first one definitely sounds fixable. 🙂

The animations, graphic, music and atmosphere in general is phantastic. The idea of the missions is really cool too

I had some problems with the control though, and the collision with the enemies... and not sure if there is a way to open the cave? I think I completed all the missions but still is closed :P

Thanks for the comment! 

What problems exactly did you have with the controls and collisions? 

About the cave: after the level with the fog there should be a cutscene when you come back to the village. After you go back to your house the cave should be open.

The unique color palette really makes this game stand out. The graphics are quite good too.

Then the gameplay. It's awesome! Really fun. And so much charm and polish. I feel bad for the kid though. His parents are awful :(
