- Nice graphics and a very cozy designed forest. It's relaxing and it was joyful to explore the forest. I like the getting lighter when you do good deeds mechanic and it almost makes this game a bit "metroidvaniaesque". For that I think the core concept is strong and this could probably be fleshed out to a full game. on the constructive side I think that a "stop and smell the flowers" type of game needs more things to discover and explore but this is most likely due to this being a 8 week project. Also music would help a lot since you can be stuck backtracking for most parts of the game. Overall a charming game that as a lot of potential.
- Rather more difficult than it looked. I eventually gave up when I knew what to do but in 20 attempts was unable to do it.
- Nice and cozy, pretty cool that you have a fully animated character. I would like if I could see where I was on the map. The art is great.
- Unfortunately I didn't get very far as the game crashed on me twice. But, it looks beautiful - well done on the visuals. The controls for game play aren't too clear from the start and I had some problems interacting with some objects.

The map needs to show where you are on it.
I didn’t know how to interact with creatures (or even if I was supposed to interact with them). I stepped in the water, got a pop-up about promising to be careful, and that was that – I could do nothing thereafter.
Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to play our game. We are having some issues with bugs at the moment, the water is one and the missing E prompt for talking to creatures is another. We currently working on fixing those problems!
Thank you for the feedback!
