Did you work in a team?
Just me!

Was the resolution a challenge?
Not really! It helped me to focus on making smaller scale pixel art and to represent more game elements with images and symbols than text.

What did you learn?
This was my first point-and-click adventure game, as well as my first time trying to make some sort of inventory! I also *finally* figured out how to make a camera that sizes itself properly when changed to fullscreen - that's been a real struggle in the past.

Really liked the music! Classic point and click gameplay combined with that wit we come to expect from these types of games. nice job!

The art is superb, and the characters and story are very charming.

I also managed to figure out the combination without all the clues, which I wish more point-n-clicks let you do.

Really loved this. Great job!
