Interesting game. I included it in my Touhou Jam 5 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Short and sweet and oh-so unique in its medium. The writing was stellar and I liked the addition of the lost woods esque gimmick, lots of good ideas in this one.
Damn, when you had that GBA label I thought it was just style but nope. It's a real GBA game! And you just drove me to open my VBA after 7 years. I'm truly impressed.
And that's not the only amazing part -- the game also has great graphics and narratives, and control is smooth as butter. It also fits the theme perfectly with a traditional folklore.
What a neat game.
Most impressive is (of course) that its a gameboy advance game of all things, but narratively its solidly written. Its nothing too crazy but considering its on gameboy, it IS overall pretty wild that you guys did this.
You absolute madlads. I applaude you.
The writing was something else, whoever wrote this is very good at narration. The rest was nice too, game was short but sweet! and it had been years since I fired up a GBA emulator lol (btw it ran well on VisualBoyAdvance as far as I could tell )
