Wow I thought this was made by one person until I saw how big of a team worked on it. It's good, especially the watercolour art, it's incredibly beautiful. I did have some issues in the battle there was some weird input lag with the 3 key. It was acting completely fine before that but it made it impossible to get a good score and complete the game.

Excellent job, what an amazing jam game! great story, the fiddler playing mechanics are forgiving too. if I had to give one critique, the black animal was a little hard to find at the start

This was awesome! The handpainted art is great, the music is very good, and thematically it seems to really fit the Jam, even the possibility of losing makes it more exciting. And the guitar hero part was a cool surprise!
I only found what I think was a bug when putting the offerings in the lilypad, I could not click "offer" or "exit", but after refreshing the page and restarting it worked normally.

Great Job!

Thanks !

Thanks for the kind words. Not sure what the bug is about. I know the game works differently depending on what browser you use. It works best on Firefox. Seems to work on certain versions of Chrome. It works on Safari, but there are problems like the doors not lighting up. I guess that's the problem with WebGL games.

I see, I was using Microsoft Edge, maybe thats why.

Wow I love the art so much! You must have put in a lot of effort. The music is good too, very atmospheric and really helps you get into the game. I love how you can explore around and find secrets too.

Yes, we did put a lot of effort into it. Glad it showed through.

Probably the best game I played so far! It gives such amazing chill vibes. Art is beautiful. I don't really like Rythm games but this one was very well made! Congratulations!

Wow! The art was amazing. The dialouge was a good idea.

Very impressive. I'm actually pausing so that I can enjoy it properly later :). Love the hand drawn graphics and the humour in the dialogue. Only tiny gripe I have (and it applies to 90% of the games I played in the Jam so far) is it does not support left handers like myself.
