Great work, this game looks, feels and sounds amazing. The artwork is so detailled.

Developer

Thanks for giving it a go and leaving feedback, much appreciated!

Man... this experience was so wonderful! I wanna join more in this adventure. Haha

A great game... no words to say how I felt myself playing it.

Good job! 

Developer

Hey! Thanks for playing and commenting! I think it will always stay a prelude to an imaginary adventure, but I'll certainly add some more stuff that you can do and interact with.

Nice! A polished and entertaining little game. Be sure to submit this to the AGS All Games List so they can include it on their site. 

Developer

Thanks! Sure will! Been a member of the AGS forums for years now and all my other little adventures are up in their database.

Uau! I think this is the most beautiful game I tested this jam. Well done!

Developer

Thanks, that's great to hear, since  I did  put most of my time and effort into the artwork. Should have probably cut a couple of those animations and used that time to implement a few more puzzles.

So sweet and charming quest! A bit sad that it's short, I'll be waiting to continue. I love it.

Developer

Thanks for the play! I'm defenitely planning to beef it up a bit after the jam.

Gorgeous graphics and animations. It reminds me of the best of the old Sierra adventure games. The music set the tone nicely as well. Altogether a great job.

Developer

Thanks! Old 90s adventure games have certainly influenced my style a lot, I still enjoy playing some of those every once in a while.

That was a wonderful game! The art was really good and the music set the mood perfectly. I enjoyed it so much I was sad when it ended. 

Developer

Thank you! I am planning to add a bit more content to the game after the voting process, so hopefully there'll be more to enjoy.

This was so great! The puzzles were light and enjoyable and the animations were very detailed. And the attitude on that fox.. loved it!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I tried to make the fox a bit cheeky :)

Wow! a perfect entry - seriously 5/5 from me in every category. Alot of other adventure games ive played in this jam have relied on heavy dialogue to either tell jokes or get across information. not this game! And that's a really good thing because in 64x64 text should be used really sparingly if at all. The imagery, the animations, and of course the soundtrack all contributed to a short, really well packaged experience! 

Developer

Really appreciate it! I've always been a bit worried that point and clicks may not be the best choice for short game jams , because it's hard to create as much engaging content or replayability as some other genres, so it's always nice to see that people still enjoy these types of games, even when they're extremely short and basic.

This was cute and beautiful little game. I see you mentioned on the comments about not using text. I think that this would have worked even without item descriptions! 

Developer

Hey! Thanks for the play. Yeah, you're probably right, but I was kind of afraid that things might get too unclear and confusing if there was no text at all.

Lovely game, you can also pet the fox.

Developer

That fox sprite and petting animation was one the first things I did, sparked the rest of the game, I guess.

Submitted(+1)

Absolutely fantastic! I love that you were able to convey everything that was needed without even using voiceovers. Excellent work!

Developer

Yeah, this is the first time I tried to make a game without using text to convey actions or goals. Happy to hear that it worked well enough.

Such a great job!!!

PS:  =( I want more!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I will probably polish it and add some more content after the voting process. Had to cut a whole bunch of ideas because of the time limits.

Submitted(+1)

this looks absolutely amazing, wonderful job!

Developer

Thanks! Had a lot of fun making it, happy to see people playing it.

This is such a lovely game ^_^

I had a blast playing, it hit the perfect vein of Zen for me :3

Developer(+1)

Glad to hear it. I do tend to gravitate towards creating more relaxing and peaceful games and hopefully they have a place among all those action and combat based titles.

Thanks! Animating is probably one of my favourite aspects of making games, feels somehow very relaxing and enjoyable. And when I update the game at some point, I'll definitely try to get some more fox interactions in there.

This art style is just absolutely gorgeous!

Developer

Thanks! Very heartwarming to see people enjoying it.

Lovely stuff! Great mood packed in such few pixels :D

Developer

Hey! Thanks for trying it out!

First of all, i didn't think a 64 x 64 res game could look this good. Props to the music dev too, perfectly sets the mood.  You've created a charming and magical world and i love it, the fox pal is adorable too. Well done, very impressed.

Check mind out too if you can, thanks.

Developer

I appreciate the comment. I was a bit afraid that more detailed art might get too busy and maybe even distracting at this resolution, but I'm glad to see that people seem to like it so far.
